Decisions and discussions:

Roger and Manoj will be the TC joint editors and will coordinate their efforts.

 

Eric Cohen will be the note taker for TC meetings except when logistics make this impossible.

 

OASIS TC procedures and rules were reviewed. The TC Charter was unanimously adopted.

 

It was decided by consensus that an outreach effort will be undertaken to determine which other groups to liasion with,

including groups outside of OASIS and owners or holders of proprietary solutions that may have a relation to the goals as set

forth in the Charter.

 

A proposal to form a CALEA subgroup will be vetted by Manoj, RAM, John acting as a workgroup. On the one hand, concern was

expressed about CALEA overwhelming the work of the TC. On the other hand, it was felt that the CALEA effort might be useful

for the TC to examine and study as an example. Some members felt the work of CALEA was directly within the scope of the

Charter. An attempt will be made to present goals of a CALEA subgroup to the TC in the format of a TC Charter for review and

discussion.

 

In principle, a joint Face to Face meeting with one or more ABA committees is desirable and should be pursued.

 

With regard to the substantive work of the group, a discussion was had on an appropriate way to begin. One proposal was made

to prioritize and identify requirements. Another suggestion was made that the work should be content-centric rather

system-centric, meaning that different types of content might have different requirements and a systematic general approach

may be less desirable.

 

Unanimous consensus emerged for the rapid development of several illustrative narrative scenarios dealing with authentication

needs for further discussion, which could include evidentiary considerations, though it was agreed that the work of the TC

was much broader than just evidentiary rules for electronic documents in court cases.

 

Pieter, RAM, Rolly, Roger, Dr. Leff, Dan, John agreed to begin a discussion on the list of various scenarios to which the TC

could contribute as a committee of the whole.

 

Dan Greenwood reported on the National Notary Conference and a Model Notary Act, Art. III which he felt could also contribute

to our consideration of electronic notarizations involving human notaries.

 

The next telephonic meeting will be held on Oct. 17 @ 1 PM EDT.

 

Please post corrections, amendments, etc. to the list.

 

Thanks.
