THE VALUE OF iCERT iCERT Empowers Public Safety, Together. Join Us Today! Why should your organization join iCERT? Because "success" is a "team" effort- you as a member, other iCERT Members as your collaborators, and even your competitors are iCERT Members - all joined together under the trade association umbrella for our mutual success and the betterment of the public safety community. Your "team" is iCERT. An increasingly diverse, complex, and competitive public safety technologies ecosystem presents many challenges, but also creates as many or more opportunities for growth, efficiency, and success. For technology companies, to grow and thrive, they need a market structure that encourages investment and an opportunity to drive innovation through cooperative relationships with others in the industry. The trade association "format" suits these goals better than any other paradigm, and iCERT reflects what's best about a trade association's benefits. iCERT provides both; working with policymakers to promote a pro-competitive and accommodating regulatory environment and providing member companies a venue within which they can collaborate, seek out partners, and work together to achieve their individual and collective objectives. Why Join iCERT.pdf Member Brochure.pdf Advocacy As a group, iCERT’s members constantly and consistently advocate; 1. for increased public funding for all safety and emergency technologies, and 2. to ensure legislators and regulators at all levels of government hear, respect, acknowledge, and accommodate the needs of the commercial public safety industry in policy, planning, funding, standards, and operational decisions. iCERT is a recognized industry voice, thought leader, and resources for and about public safety technology and related industries (ex., IoT, cloud-based, manufacturers, software, transportation, medical, etc.). iCERT is a platform for vital industry communication regarding issues that unfairly burden or impede the introduction of new public safety / emergency response and related technologies to the market. Credibility Like it or not, the public safety community favors its "own". The sense of "family" and "community" that energizes 6,000+ PSAPs/ECCs across America isn't an accident - it springs from the bond of communal sacrifice that all public safety, first responder, and support personnel share. iCERT membership tells the world that you are interested in public safety for its own sake and are investing for the future. Unique Structure iCERT membership automatically includes all the members of your entire public safety technology operation, amplifying membership value and return on investment. Knowledge iCERT continually creates opportunities for formal and informal training programs, based on member demand and concerns, for both company and personnel training and development. Focusing on innovation and new developments, iCERT helps you stay on top of new products and services and maintain a competitive and informational edge. Knowledge includes sharing best practices and developing fresh ideas and novel solutions both internally, and with government customers and regulators. Diversity Public safety has long evolved past "just 911" or even "NG911." Now, we're sensors, predictive analytics, virtual reality training, drones, artificial intelligence, PSAP/ECC management, cyber, and so much more. Its enterprises who started out dedicated to public safety, and technology purveyors whose innovations fit public safety's needs so well they were "drafted" into service. iCERT continually examines the “public safety technologies” landscape reaching out to new diverse entities, paradigm disruptors, and innovators for inclusion.

NASNA & NENA HIGHLIGHTS 1/53 Each year, the National Association of 911 Administrators (NASNA) provides iCERT with the opportunity to host a private reception for NASNA and iCERT members after the NASNA general meeting. Our reception provides iCERT members with a unique opportunity to meet public safety decision-makers and their associates in a relaxed and private setting. This year, iCERT hosted the reception at NASNA’s annual conference in Grapevine, TX, on June 17th. We had a great turnout, with 75 attendees, including most of the state 911 leads. A huge thanks to the iCERT members who supported the reception with their attendance, especially to our member companies who sponsored the reception: AWS, T-Mobile, Motorola Solutions, Datamark, Eventide, Mission Critical Partners, NGA, and RapidDeploy. The following evening, iCERT held our annual happy hour at the NENA conference, where we honored Mary Boyd. Our happy hour at NENA also had a great turnout, with 70 iCERT member company representatives and guests attending. These iCERT events have quickly become very popular among our membership, as they are great opportunities to network informally and in a relaxed setting. A huge thanks to our sponsoring companies, who made this event possible: AWS, T-Mobile, Motorola Solutions, NGA, and Mission Critical Partners. Additionally, iCERT members were featured speakers throughout the NENA conference program, offering innovation and informative content to the conference attendees. Last but not least, iCERT was joined on the NENA Expo hall floor by 17 of our member companies who had a booth presence on the show floor.

Working in conjunction with state and local officials, the Campaign provides much needed resources to initiate, maintain, and/or bring to fruition state-level efforts to ensure that emergency calling is properly resourced. Campaign Premise: Absent proper levels of adequate, stable and foreseeable funding for emergency calling, America's 911 system breaks down. Public safety officials become unable to maintain the equipment and services they need in order to provide safety at the level the public deserves and expects. When properly resourced, however, public safety agencies and the enterprises that support their critical work are able to provide to the public the crucial life-saving services our citizens, residents and visitors require. iCERT will: Engage state and local government and non-governmental partners, Craft and disseminate tailored educational pieces, and Convene partners and other officials to address key concerns. Measures of Campaign Success: Shifts in norms - reduced state reliance on 911 funding for unrelated matters. Strengthened organizations - general increase in 911 agency budgets due to regular transfer of dedicated funding. Improved policies - states amending regulations and/or administrative practices to ensure flow of funding. Specific impacts - key examples of properly re-purposed funding. Emergency Communications Resource (ECR) Working Group The primary function of the Emergency Communications Resource Working Group is to examine and recommend for Policy Committee, Board and/or Association action, official Industry Council positions on local, state, regional, national and international regulations, legislation, rules or resolutions affecting funding of emergency calling and response technology systems and networks. The Working Group has no formal approval role. In practice, these responsibilities are carried out by performing the following functions: Monitoring and reviewing proposed legislation and regulatory rulemaking; Providing assistance to Association staff on matters of emergency communications resource policy; and Recommending action to the Policy Committee. z-axis/911 Location Accuracy Working Group This Working Group investigates the various techniques for converting z-axis location information (expressed as HAE) into actionable information for PSAPs (e.g., 3D mapping). Because the FCC has an open docket related to z-axis matters, this Working Group may include making policy recommendations that iCERT could use in consensus-based filings before the FCC. Convergence and Innovation Working Group The primary function of the Convergence and Innovation Working Group is to examine and recommend for Policy Committee, Board and/or Association action, official Industry Council positions on local, state, regional, national and international regulations, legislation, rules or resolutions affecting matters related to the ubiquitous, unified nature of emergency communications and response technologies, now and into the future. The Working Group has no formal approval role. In practice, these responsibilities are carried out by performing the following functions: Monitoring and reviewing proposed legislation and regulatory rulemaking; Providing assistance to Association staff on matters of convergence and innovation policy; and Recommending action to the Policy Committee. Data Integration Initiative (DII) Working Group Overcoming silos and creating seamless communications across platforms will yield both immediate and long-term benefits for the public, first responders, and iCERT members. Detailed below is the announcement of iCERT’s new Data Integration Initiative – our signature project for 2020 and beyond. Speaking for the Executive Committee and the Board, we are hoping that as we progress every iCERT member will find a way to become involved and contribute to this significant new initiative. Concerted discussion by the Data Integration Working Group (DIWG) has revealed four subject areas for iCERT members/participant concentration: 1) Data Value, 2) Existing Data Integration, 3) Data Integration Enablers, and Roadblocks, and 4) Future Data Integration. iCERT Members are dividing their participation along experience, company-centric, and general interests in joining one or more sub-groups to move each area to a productive outcome. The sub-group descriptions follow: 1) Data Value – identifying which data integrations provide the most value in terms of improving public safety response. What assigns a “value” (what defines “value” is one of the tasks of this group) to each piece of data in any particular system or sub-system, and its associated dataflows and workflows? What outputs a high-value outcome for a particular set of data and specific data integrations and associated workflows? Identifying which data, when “married together” produces the most value in terms of efficiencies. How can such a concept be used to help all stakeholders (product management, vendors, developers, end-users and citizens) choose which integrations provide the biggest "bang for the buck"? 2) Existing Data Integration – what integrations exist today? What are successful examples of data integration (systems, processes, or governance)? What is motivating their development? How do we apply our “formula” to help identify the most valuable solutions? Simply Identify Roles and their associated Dataflows and workflows for incident lifecycle management (Pre-incident, mid-incident, and post-incident). There are potentially thousands of dataflows that can be identified, along with relay points and other items that can be identified as places to streamline the workflow. 3) Data Integration Enablers and Roadblocks – what are the roadblocks that keep the existing data integration from creating the real “value” that data integration can produce? What are the enablers that have provided some level of success and improved public safety response? This sub-group will focus on what can be done to reduce the effects of roadblocks and enhance the effects of enablers. This can include governance, funding models, technology, operational processes, or anything that is keeping data integration from being as innovative and broadly implemented as possible. 4) Future Data Integration – answering questions about what new integrations will be expected as technology advances? How does the IoT figure into Public Safety Data Integration for future systems? How does A.I. affect which data is important? How do we bridge the gap between data integrations of today with data integration of the future?
