Subject: RE: [emergency] FEMA IPAWS Note on CAP Profile
Hi Alessandro, I suggest you look through the official archived record of the emails concerning these issues. I would start with http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency/email/archives/200902/msg00026.html I would not want to paraphrase or risk misquoting anyone's messages. There were, I believe a couple of messages prior to this that could be useful for understanding the situation.
