Subject: Plan for Gathering Supporters
I just uploaded to our web site a draft list of people
and organizations we should contact to ask for their
support on the PKI Action Plan. The URL is:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/pki/download.php/5308/action-plan-supporter-plan.txt
Just in case that URL is too long for you, I have included
a copy of the document below. But you should generally go
to our web site to find the latest version.
Please review and comment on the list, adding things
as you see fit. Then sign up for the people and/or
organizations that you are willing to approach and
let's go get some supporters!
I'm going to start now, since I already signed up
for five or ten groups. Wish me luck!
Thanks,
Steve

Gathering Supporters for the OASIS PKI TC's PKI Action Plan
We're ready to gather a list of supporters for the
OASIS PKI Technical Committee's PKI Action Plan.
Here's a list of influential individuals and
organizations within the PKI and security community.
The PKI TC members will sign up to contact these
folks and ask for their endorsement and aid.
Our focus here is on influential individuals and
organizations. We will include all the people who
responded to our surveys and gave us their email
address. We will also include all the organizations
who helped distribute our survey invitation. But
we will include others as well: customers, vendors,
standards groups, and all sorts of organizations
whose support will be needed to implement our plan.
This list will change over time as new people and
groups are added and then contacted. Send updates
to steve.hanna@sun.com. Steve will merge them into
this document and post updates on the TC web site.
1) PKI vendors
Most of the PKI vendors are represented on the PKI TC
either as Voting Members or as Observers. We'll ask
these representatives to ask their management to
approve endorsement of the PKI Action Plan.
These contact people are: John Sabo from Computer Associates,
Sharon Boeyen from Entrust, Kefeng Chen from GeoTrust,
Krishna Yellepeddy from IBM, Phil Fulchino and David
Skyberg from RSA, and Alex Deacon from Verisign.
The biggest PKI vendors that aren't represented on the
PKI TC are BeTrusted, Microsoft, and Netscape. Steve Hanna
has decent contacts at each of those organizations. Does
anyone else have good contacts there? If not, he'll
proceed to ask them.
2) Send to all OASIS members
We should get permission to include our request for
support in the OASIS News, a biweekly newsletter that
goes out to OASIS members and other interested parties.
Somebody from the Publicity Subcommittee should sign
up for this one and ask Dee Schur, who edits that
newsletter.
3) Send to PKI Research Workshop attendees
Paul Evans got permission to do this last June when
we sent out the survey invite. Paul, are you up for
this again?
4) Send to the IETF PKIX working group mailing list
Steve Hanna is active in this working group. He will
ask permission from the chairs of the working group
to forward the request for endorsement to their mailing
list.
6) Send to Asia PKI Forum members and lists
Jeremy Hilton handled this last June when we sent out
the survey invite. He sent the invite to Riccardo
Genghini, who forwarded it to the Asia PKI Forum.
Jeremy, are you up for this again?
7) Send to Internet 2 Consortium members
Steve Hanna will send the request for support to the
Internet 2 Higher Education PKI Technical Advisory Group
and encouraged them to forward it to other folks with
PKI experience.
8) U.S. Government's Federal PKI Technical Working Group (FPKITWG)
Paul Evans handled this last June when we sent out the
survey invite. Paul, will you take care of this again?
9) EEMA
In June, Jeremy Hilton contacted them. Jeremy, would
you do so again?
10) The Open Group
Paul Evans handled the Open Group last June when we sent out the
survey invite. Paul, will you take care of them again?
11) ETSI
Jeremy Hilton handled ETSI ESI last time. OK with you, Jeremy?
Phil Griffin handled MCOMM. Phil, are you still out there?
12) CEN WS WG
Jeremy Hilton sent the invitation to Riccardo Genghini,
who forwarded it to the CEN WS-ESign list. Jeremy, would
you do this again?
13) APEC IS Security Standards Group
Jeremy Hilton sent the invitation to someone who will
forward it to the APEC eSTG. Jeremy, would you take this
again?
14) Radicchio Consortium
Hemant Adarkar handled this last time. I guess we need
a new contact.
15) Government of Canada
Ross Smith sent the survey invite to the Government of
Canada PKI Policy Management Authority Advisory Committee
and the Canadian Public Sector CIO Council. Ross, if you're
around you can send the endorsement request around similarly.
If Ross isn't around, he gave me a backup contact.
16) ISSA
John Sabo arranged for the survey invitation to be forwarded
to the officers and board members of the ISSA (Information
Systems Security Association) for further distribution.
John, can you do this with the endorsement request?
17) Survey Respondents
Steve will send the endorsement request to all the survey
respondents who gave us their email addresses.
18) Standards Groups
I think we need volunteers for ISO/ITU and IEEE. The IETF
is already covered above.
