Normally you should start a proposal. I think you can immediately start with the voting stadium since there is not much to discuss about these tags. There are just an extension to the current schema and are perfectly backwards compatible.
If you created the proposal. Do send a mail to this list with as subject "[VOTING] emergency=alarm", this is the official way to start a voting procedure and make the tag valid. After the voting, it should be added to the wiki. Adding it directly to the wiki is not advisable since it's not used yet. regards, Sander 2011/6/5 Seth Golub <s...@sethoscope.net> > Thanks for your help. > > Sorry, that photo did not give a clear story.
