For immediate review: Exposure Draft PKI Survey

[Stephen Wilson <swilson@lockstep.com.au>]

Dear All

As flagged recently, I am helping the Lower Costs SC develop the 
questionnaire for the Third International PKI Survey.  I am happy to 
provide the attached Exposure Draft for distribution within the TC alone. 

In fact two file versions are attached: one in Excel which I think will be 
easier for people to fill out and for us to process, and the other in PDF, 
which looks nicer on the screen! 

As you may recall, the Lower Costs SC hopes to run the survey publicly for 
the first time next week, at the Beijing meeting of the Asia PKI Forum.  
Therefore, I am humbly calling for volunteers from the TC to please 
feedback to myself BEFORE CLOSE OF BUSINESS THURSDAY 27th.  Sorry for this 
terribly short notice, but we have a window of opportunity in Beijing that 
is just too good to miss.  All that is required is that a couple of you 
spend an hour or so trying to fill in the survey, in the next day or two.  
Many many thanks in anticipation! 

If that crazy deadline doesn't suit, then please see if you can take a 
look at it before November 7, because that will be the week that it will 
be finalised before world-wide distribution.  
 

The exposure draft still needs to be tidied up, in terms of consistency of 
layout, pages numbers and so on.  I would also like to add more 
instructions and explanatory notes.  All suggestions for enhancing its 
clarity are gratefully accepted! 

Thanks folks for your assistance.  If all goes well, we ought to be able 
to finalise the questionnaire and post it publicly starting in mid 
November. 

Cheers, 

Stephen Wilson.

PS I am still looking for (1) input on how to promote the survey through 
professional organisations, conferences etc., and (2) directly volunteers 
to be added to my address list when the survey runs officially.
