Draft Survey

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

Here's a first draft for our survey, based on the
conversation at our last meeting. Please look it over
and provide suggestions by email or at our meeting
on Wednesday.

Feel free to criticize wildly, throw the whole thing
out, or whatever. This is just a straw man to get
the discussion started.

Thanks,

Steve

OASIS PKI TC Survey - Obstacles to PKI Deployment and Usage

The OASIS Public Key Instracture Technical Committee (PKI TC) aims to

to examine how they can be addressed.

If you have experience or expertise with PKI, please help us

will only be reported in aggregate form.

   If Yes, skip to Q3
