IRMA

This Workshop is planned for 9-10 December 2008 at the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) in Geneva, in cooperation with OASIS and ITU. It will be primarily a forum for discussions among CAP implementers and ICT or emergency management organizations on topics requiring coordination.

These topics may include, among others: having an internationally agreed list of authorities for common types of CAP alerts; disseminating, aggregating, and authenticating CAP alerts; making globally unique identifiers for CAP alerts; and, best practices for text in the CAP "description" and "instruction" elements.

You may be aware that this Workshop follows on the October 2006 "Workshop and Demonstration of Advances in ICT Standards for Public Warning" held at ITU in Geneva
