Title: Re: [security-jc] [Fwd: Proposed ICTSB Security Group, pre

Karl, Everyone,

I missed this notice. I am probably not alone. I have a serious overload problem with my email, and I am probably not alone in that either.

It would have been helpful to have the report, which was not included in the message Karl forwarded, so I looked it up. Here is the url for the report:

http://www.cenorm.be/cenorm/businessdomains/businessdomains/informationsocietystandardizationsystem/public+interest/network+and+information+security+focus+group/index.asp

It is 77 pages and, off hand, I don't see any areas that do not overlap one or another of the OASIS Security TCs with the possible exception of Web Services Security, though web services are mentioned as a network consideration. I didn't read it, but I would find it somewhat unsettling if no one in the Security-Related TCs has read it since we will be coping with their decisions. On the bright side, it is probably very well done and certainly appears comprehensive.

I don't have the time to sift through this to see if I can identify areas of specific interest to WSRP, Emergency Management or HumanMarkup.

Ciao,

Rex
