Meeting Cancellation Today

["Mark Curphey" <mark.curphey@foundstone.com>]

Due to unforeseen work circumstances I am unable to Chair today's
meeting therefore I suggest we cancel it this month. 

Here are the monthly updates as I know;

Core - Face to Face meeting planned for the 23rd March in Washington.
Objective, complete WAS Core (Meta and Profile) and start creating
documentation.

Protect - Ivan is on vacation but has a draft of his requirements
together and is actively working on the initial schema for the protect
element. I have started discussions with several large infrastructure
vendors who are interested in WAS and Protect. 

Test - No progress to date. New sub-group member (Yen-Ming Chen) who
will write a C# execution engine as well as develop the format. 

After this months face to face there WILL be lots of progress to report
at next months meeting.

I have started work on a WAS vision document which sets out the aims of
WAS and what a WAS enabled world look like. It essentially describes the
vulnerability management life cycle from researcher to system
maintenance and how WAS could be used in each phase. I will present this
draft to the CORE meeting in DC for review and then circulate to this
list for further review.
