[SBE] [sbe-eas] CAP action steps?

[Richard Rudman]

Hi, Suzanne:

My take is that it is too early for SECC's to rewrite their plans.

We still do not know:

1. What "mandatory Governor Level" means and how it will affect  
wording of LECC and SECC plans
2. Who will be authorized in each state to issue warnings under the  
new rules, and exactly how CAP-enhanced EAS will change existing  
security measures spelling out in plans
3. If (as I think most of us want) RWT's be dropped
4. If (as I think most of us want) all RMT's will be originated from  
government warning centers, not broadcast or cable entities.
4. If the LP model will go away in some form
5. If the EAS boxes will report out to some yet to be designated  
location, and, if so, how they will do such reporting and what that  
will do to logging requirements
6. The re-write of Part 11

The SBE "Roadmap" is in my mind the closest document that lays out all  
the pieces that have to be put together to make this work. You might  
consider concentrating on that document at your meeting.

If anyone else has thoughts on this, please chime in.

Regards,

Richard Rudman
