All, During the SC meeting today, Joerg proposed that the SC develop a set of rules or best practices in developing CAP Profiles – such a set of rules will potentially help the SC to evaluate the different international CAP Profiles. I wanted to put this item on the listserv to get your thoughts and comments. I see the following benefits from such a set of best practices: - Consistency in the various CAP Profiles, thereby helping in interoperability in the international domain (esp. neighboring countries since incidents can span across borders) - A consistent way to handle requests for development or evaluation of profiles This is a starter list – so feel free to add or provide other opinions.
