In 2001 an international, independent group of over 120 emergency managers began specifying and prototyping the Common Alerting Protocol data structure based on the recommendations of the NSTC report. The project was embraced by the non-profit [http://www.ppw.us Partnership for Public Warning] and a number of international warning system vendors. A series of field trials and long-term demonstration projects during 2002-03 led to the submission of a draft CAP specification to the OASIS standards process for formalization.
 
The CAP 1.0 specification was approved by [[OASIS (organization)|OASIS]] in April, 2004. Based on experience with CAP 1.0, the OASIS [http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/emergency Emergency Management Technical Committee] adopted an updated [http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14759/emergency-CAPv1.1.pdf CAP 1.1 specification] in October 2005. At a meeting in Geneva in October, 2006 the CAP 1.1 specification was taken under consideration by the [[International_Telecommunications_Union|International Telecommunications Union]] for adoption as an ITU recommendation.
