[Fwd: EEMA pkiC papers]

["Evans Paul" <evans_paul@bah.com>]

Title:

 Apologies for the size of this message.  The European Electronic Messaging
Association (EEMA) continued to carry forward the Challenge work of the EMA
in North America.  The EEMA reported out their results in April and have
recently released three additional papers in the past week, all of which
are attached.  

For this subcommittee (and perhaps the full PKI TC), the most applicable
document is the paper titled "Challenges for the PKI Industry" (filename
pkiC_84.pdf).  It goes to the heart of many technical issues that need to
be addressed.

Hi Paul

Good to hear from you and yes, it has been a long time.  Many thanks for the
kind words on the pkiC project.  I will pass them on to the rest of the team
who have worked to hard to make the project such a success.  

As the project was paid for by the CEC and Swiss Gov't you are right, the
papers are in the public domain.  Attached is the final copy of the project
and also the three additional papers which have also been produced as part
of the project.

Any thoughts on the additional papers and how we can get these out to 'the
industry' would be much appreciated.

Best regards

Jane

Subject:	Congratulations and a Question

Jane,

It's been ages since we last talked and I hope this finds you well. 
 Please accept my congratulations, albeit belated, and pass them on to 
the entire pki Challenge team on their tremendous effort and excellent 
products.  I'm gratified that  EEMA persevered and continued with the 
Challenge after we completed ours in North America.

  I've been reviewing them as part of my participation on the OASIS PKI 
Technical Committee (TC) where we're currently identifying barriers to 
PKI deployment with an aim to make recommendations to the vendor 
community, standards bodies, and those looking at deploying a PKI.. 
 Your papers will be invaluable as we go forward. If PKIs reach wide 
deployment, it will be because of efforts such as your Challenge that we 
can build upon and gradually improve.

While I will point others on the TC to the links for your documents, I 
was wondering if it would be permissible to directly email at least one 
of them.  It's "D8.4 - Challenges for the PKI Industry".  I looked for a 
copywrite and found none - does that mean the document is considered to 
be in the public domain?

Thanks and a hearty congratulations, once more.

Warm regards,

Paul Evans
