RE: [pki-tc] PLEASE REVIEW the draft PKI Obstacles survey

["Todd Colvin" <todd.colvin@search.org>]

Steve,

In Q4, I think "Complexity" and "Hard for End Users to Use" are too similar. By complexity I assume installation and administration of PKI is the target. If so, I think "Complex Implementation/Administration" is better wording.

For Q9, I would add Ecommerce and/or Sales as categories in the popup.

Will there be other information describing the nature of the survey provided to people taking it such as the survey's purpose?

Here is a draft of the PKI TC survey on PKI obstacles.
Please review it and send comments to the pki-tc list.
The PKI Survey SC appreciates your help.

In one week (on May 14), we plan to start working on
getting it onto the web. So please send comments
before then, if possible.

Thanks,

Steve
