Subject: Please RSVP for PKI TC F2F
Please send me email to tell me if you are planning to attend the OASIS PKI TC face-to-face meeting on Friday, September 19, 2003. Also tell me if you are planning to attend in-person or by phone. We need this information so that we can be sure that we will have a quorum and that the conference room will be large enough. Also, John Sabo needs these numbers so he can order the right number of breakfasts and lunches. If you have some sort of dietary restriction, please tell me about that. Thanks, John, for hosting this meeting. It sounds like it will be great! Note that the meeting will run 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. John Sabo sent email earlier with info on hotels. We'll probably have dinner the night before and the night after the meeting. More info on that to come. Thanks, Steve -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Date Selected for PKI TC F2F Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 11:43:00 -0400 From: Steve Hanna <steve.hanna@sun.com> To: PKI TC <pki-tc@lists.oasis-open.org> BCC: steve.hanna@sun.com I have now received information about preferred dates for our upcoming face-to-face meeting from 10 out of 17 Voting and Prospective Members of the PKI TC. The most preferred date was Friday, September 19 (the day after the FPKITWG meeting). Everyone said this date was at least OK and more people chose this date as their first choice than any other date. Therefore, I declare that we have selected September 19 as the date for our face-to-face meeting. Please proceed with making your travel plans. Location -------- John Sabo has reserved a conference room for us at a Computer Associates facility near Dulles airport. John will send directions and hotel information later. The address is: Computer Associates 2291 Wood Oak Drive Herndon, Virginia, 20171 Conference Room: 3-27 A teleconference line will be provided for the entire meeting, although telephone attendees will not be able to participate in breakout sessions. Date & Time ----------- As mentioned earlier, the meeting is scheduled for Friday, September 19, 2003. The meeting will run from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM with a few breaks for lunch and such. We will also have an optional social dinner the night before. Agenda ------ The main subject of the meeting (as agreed on our last concall) will be to review the results of our surveys on Obstacles to PKI Deployment and Usage and (most important) to discuss and agree upon an Action Plan for addressing these obstacles. A detailed agenda will be developed in August. Meeting Participants -------------------- All Voting Members of the PKI TC will be welcome. Others may come on a space-available basis. The conference room only seats 12-15 people maximum and I expect that we will have 10-12 Voting Members attending, so any other OASIS members who want to attend should contact me or John Sabo to add their name to a list. Will we have a quorum for this meeting? Yes, it seems that we will. We have firm commitments to attend in person from 6 Voting Members and Maybes from 2. We also have 3 Voting Members who plan to attend by phone. That gives us at least 9 Voting Members, which is a quorum. If other folks can attend in person or by phone, that will help a lot. Why You Should Attend --------------------- 1) Meet other PKI TC members face-to-face, building strong relationships that will serve us well in our future work. In addition to the meeting itself, we will be able to socialize informally over dinner the night before and at lunch and breaks on the meeting day. 2) Set the agenda for the PKI TC's future work, addressing the obstacles to PKI deployment and usage identified through our surveys. 3) Also attend the FPKITWG meeting on September 18, meeting important figures in the PKI community. For more info, see http://csrc.nist.gov/pki/twg/welcome.html For those who can't attend this face-to-face meeting, we will of course accept suggestions for and comments on PKI TC work items before and after the meeting. And decisions taken at the meeting can be reconsidered at later TC meetings if needed. But those who come to the meeting (or at least dial into it) will be most involved in the in-depth discussions that will take place there about the PKI TC's future activities. And I'm afraid that phone participation is never quite as effective as a face-to-face meeting. So I encourage you to attend in person if possible. Thanks, Steve Hanna
