Please call in Tuesday AM for discussion of goals

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

At the start of our face-to-face meeting (8:10 AM -
9:00 AM Eastern U.S. Time), we will be discussing
the goals for the TC and for the meeting. This is
an important discussion and I'd like to have as many
people participating as possible. So please add this
to the "Critical Time" that I noted in my earlier email.

I'm sorry the timing isn't convenient for West Coast
U.S. participants. If you can't make it, feel free
to email comments on the strawman goals I circulated
a week ago. I have included a copy of that email below.

Thanks,

Steve

Goals for the OASIS PKI Technical Committee

In order to further our mission to "address issues related
to the successful deployment of digital certificates" and
in recognition of the facts that PKI has significant benefits
but its deployment and usage are currently impeded by certain
substantial but not immovable obstacles, the OASIS PKI TC has
established the following goals:

1) Identify the primary obstacles to PKI deployment and usage

2) Lead an effort to address these obstacles

Strategy for Executing these Goals

The OASIS PKI TC recognizes that it cannot achieve either
of these goals alone. Instead, it plans to work with PKI
vendors, customers, standards groups, and other stakeholders
to identify obstacles and then develop, agree upon, and
execute an Action Plan for addressing those obstacles.

All these stakeholders share a common interest in easing
PKI deployment and usage, so we hope and expect that they
will all work together in agreeing on and executing the
Action Plan.
