Can someone else handle ETSI MCOMM, then?
Maybe Jeremy Hilton? Or you, Olivier?

I suppose it's not likely that either of these
groups would officially endorse the PKI Action Plan,
but it's worth asking. Certainly, I want to make
sure that they are informed about the Plan and
I'd welcome an endorsement from either their
individual members or their employers. I'd also
welcome any assistance they might offer.

I wonder if Sharon Boeyen can help here. I think
she's seriously involved with ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6/WG7,
which is responsible for the X.509 standards. I'll
ask Sharon. If she's not available, I will send an
email myself to Hoyt Kesterson (rapporteur for the
Directory Group). I think he knows me.

Thanks very much, Olivier. That's very useful.
We'll count on you to be our contact with
ITU-T SG17.

Take care,

Steve
