Title: RE: [security-jc] Security JC Charter - with Joe's edits

Hi Phil,

I don't agree.  It's fine to add "X9", but not to replace "X.509" with "X9".  There is value in defining how the OASIS specs relate to the X.509 work, along with all these other bodies.

Carlisle.

Just one nit. "X.509" below should be "X9".
(The XCBF TC relies on several X9 finsvcs
security standards.)
