Are there meeting minutes available from the workshop?

What specific part do you think is disconnected from the "global ecosystem"?

As we have learned already from the previous discussion about the emergency
services categories there is no single overall community to talk to, as this
community seems to be quite fragmented. From my citizen-to-authority
emergency services experience I can tell you that you cannot create such a
"single community" regardless of how much work you spend.
