> Dear colleagues,

> As you may be aware, Q4 is responsible for
> the Common Alerting Protocol standard in
> cooperation with OASIS.  X.1303 (09/2007)
> is equivalent to OASIS CAP 1.1 - with the
> added feature of an ASN.1 module.
>
> OASIS revised the specification and the
> 1.2 version was balloted and adopted in
> July 2010.  See attached.  So X.1303
> needs to be updated based on the new
> version.
>
> It would be especially useful to know
> if our resident ASN.1 experts in Q12
> are available to revise the corresponding
> CAP ASN.1 module in clause 8.3 of X.1303.
>
> CAP is now being extensively used worldwide
> by user communities and national authorities.
> Many EU countries, China and the US have
> been especially active.  The ITU-T also has
> a close working relationship with WMO in
> providing for CAP implementations, and Q12
> and Q4 have a joint OID ARC that is available
> with the associated Rec. X.alerting.
>
> It is important for Q4/17 to progress this
> work at our upcoming meeting while we await
> for the formal liaison statement to slowwwwly
> arrive.

> thanks,
