Re: [pki-tc] Early Reviewers for PKI Action Plan

[Steve Hanna <steve.hanna@sun.com>]

I haven't heard from anyone else on this, so I'll start
signing up for people I'll contact. The HEPKI-TAG concall
is tomorrow. That's why I want to get moving on this.

I'll take Netscape.

I'll take the IETF PKIX WG leaders (Steve Kent and Tim Polk).

> * people who responded to our surveys

I'll send an email to these folks.

I'll take the Internet 2 HEPKI-TAG. I have also been
invited by Neal McBurnett to brief the PKI Labs and
PKI Research Workshop folks, so I'll handle that.

I'll take Sun, the leaders of the IETF SMIME WG, and the
OASIS Open Office XML Format TC and OASIS ebXML Joint Committee.

I'll take the University of Texas (not the University of Houston!)
and a few other folks I know. I expect that every PKI vendor
will want to brief their own customers and we all have contacts
at the U.S. Government, so we can all go for that brass ring. ;-)

I'll ask the OASIS folks to post our draft Action Plan on
our TC web site without a link so that we can easily point
people to it (although we'll try to keep this confidential).

Please forward comments to the PKI TC list. If people want
to submit their own comments online, they can use the button
labelled "Send a Comment" on our TC web page. John, I hope
we can get funding from the PKI MS SC for some web page
work soon. The TC's web page looks pretty bare!

Thanks,

Steve
