Subject: Meeting tomorrow
Friends, Since tomorrow is the first meeting that I will be conducting as the new chair, I wanted to take the opportunity for us to have a discussion around the TC's future. Since I'm not sure everyone is on the Member Section alias (I'm not - and I'm not sure why), I'm sending you a message that I sent there last week to help spur some discussion tomorrow on this subject. Whether you're a regular participant to the TC meetings or not, I'd like to invite you to attend this session tomorrow to provide some input on the two topics outlined below. If you cannot join us due to other commitments, please send us your feedback on this list, so we can incorporate it into our discussion. As the internet gets more dangerous and awareness increases amongst software developers/architects, I strongly believe that the use of public-key cryptograpy is on the threshold of a new dawn. I'm hoping that you can join us in taking advantage of this new awareness, and in helping shape the way the technology can help your company or you, personally. The topics I'd like to discuss tomorrow are: 1) As a technical committee, what technology standards do we establish given that PKIX establishes international technical standards for PKI, and W3C has established XMLSignature, XMLEncryption and XKMS as standards? What value do we add to the field of PKI to justify our existence? 2) The TC conducted a survey 2-3 years ago that highlighted why people were not using PKI. Yet, many countries around the world, the US Federal Government, the cable/satellite industry, the DRM world all use PKI in one form or another. What is the real reason that the general business applications/IT developers shun PKI? (Being an applications developer myself, I have some notions on this that I'd like to discuss in the TC, but I want to hear from everybody else first). We may not have enough time to cover this discussion tomorrow, but I hope to begin it over e-mail, and continue on the phone and e-mail. Ann Terwilliger has kindly arranged for a toll-free number (in the US) for this meeting. It is: Date/Time: MAY, 17 2006 at 9:00 AM America/Los_Angeles Length: 60 Meeting ID: 3661 Phone Number: 877-847-2001 (USA & Canada) or 650-432-0111 I hope to hear from you. Thank you.
