FW: Speaker for workshop

Title: ITU Normal.dot

As you will see below, Ken Smith will make
the presentation on ITU-T standards work.

Dee: please go ahead and ask Ken to provide
his bio, etc. for the web site.

 

This means that we have to move Bo Bergen’s
presentation to a different slot.

Specifically, with respect to the Excel:

 

Row 21, column B should read:

 

ITU-T 

Speaker: Ken Smith, Verizon

 

In row 9, column B should read:

 

           Developments
related to the Tampere Convention

           Speaker: Bo Bergner, Swedish Post and Telecom Agency

 

As Dee
suggested, Googlearth could be moved to row 10, and Lautenbacher to row 11.

 

But then we have to figure out what to do
with ESRI.  ERSI is a closely-held (in fact by one person) private
company,  They have a near monopoly on GIS (geographic information
systems) modeling, software, and data (coordinates, maps, etc.) and I think it
is important that we give them a slot, if they agree to come.

 

Maybe we keep ESRI and delete
NOAA/Lautenbacher?  Or we move either ESRI or NOAA elsewhere? Or we
shorten the extended break of row 13?

 

If we take the option of moving NOAA or
ESRI, then ESRI could not fit into the “standards” block, because
their stuff is proprietary.  But I think that ESRI would fit nicely into the
Friday AM session, because they do have a lot of experiences with disasters
(for example, after 9/11 ERSI worked overtime to provide data on where
infrastructure such as telephone lines was located, so as to route around the
damage).  Using one of rows 29-31 for ESRI would make even more sense if
we continue to have no confirmed speakers for them. 

Thanks and best,

Richard

Ken, Nick, Ronald, 

  

Would one of you be available to speak on the ITU-T work on standards for
public warning (that is, on E.TDR, E.ETS, etc.), on 19 October, in Geneva?   

  

Or to recommend somebody else who could do it?  (Les Homan is not an
option, he is recovering from major heart surgery).

Thanks and best, 

Richard
