Nominating Arshad Noor for PKI MS SC

[Steve Hanna <shanna@juniper.net>]

I'd like to nominate Arshad Noor for the
PKI Member Section Steering Committee.

Arshad is an entrepreneur, a skilled
information security expert, and an
energetic participant in PKI MS activities.
He is the chair of the PKI TC's Application
Guidelines Subcommittee and the chief
proponent of the Transaction PKI project.
He represented the PKI MS at the recent
PKI Tunisia 2005 conference. He will
be a great addition to the PKI MS SC.

A brief CV for Arshad is included below.

Thanks,

Steve
