Dear Colleagues:

The OASIS Standard, the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) has now been  
widely implemented. As a result, we are beginning to receive feedback  
from implementation experience, especially regarding requirements for  
enhanced capabilities, clarification of certain elements, and new use  
cases.

Therefore, in order to document a consistent set of requirements for  
potential enhancement or extensions to CAP, we are seeking your input  
and suggestions based on your experience implementing and using CAP.  
These could be use cases, requirements for new elements, enhancement  
to existing elements and so forth. This information will be collated  
and then used as the basis for discussion and consensus on possible  
changes and enhancements to CAP and potentially also to EDXL.

Comments may be submitted to the OASIS Emergency Management Technical  
Committee (EM TC) by any person through the use of the OASIS TC  
Comment Facility which can be located via the button marked "Send A  
Comment" at the top of the EM TC public page at <http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=emergency 
 > or directly at <http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=emergency 
 >.

Submitted comments (for this work as well as other works of that TC)  
are publicly archived and can be viewed at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/emergency-comment/ 
  . All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback  
License, which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same  
obligations at least as the obligations of the TC members.

Please bear in mind that the submitted comments are not treated as a  
mailing list, i.e. you will not usually receive a personal reply  
unless the comment is submitted in response to an officially announced  
OASIS Public Review.

Thank you for your help and consideration.

Regards,

Elysa Jones
Chair, OASIS
Emergency Management Technical Committee
