Arshad,
This seems OK as a starter. Other technical groups
though have be-weekly meetings. Essentially
one simple question will determine how the rest will be.
The "watershed" issue is:
Is the anticipated TPKI mechanism supposed to work
IDENTICALLY in the targeted leading
browsers? This would imply no less
than a STANDARDS EFFORT.
Or is the goal rather to find out what the
various browsers in their current versions
can do in terms signing and encryption? This is a MARKET RESEARCH project. Given the plugin constraint (no ActiveX
etc) in the current TPKI draft, this can
be done in a month or so. In fact, I consider myself having already
done the basic research.
If OTOH, the 50+
plugin schemes are to be included, this is a MAJOR effort. Much of the information is in foreign languages, poorly
documented, and often NDA protected. The latter for example is always the
case for schemes created by the financial sector. The biopharma
industries' USSI is currently also NDA protected.
Since there are only two voting members and the
rest are mainly passive members, I suggest a
"straw poll" to get some indications of what
other people think of this. If there is no response, I don't think that we have to bother much about ANY issue
:-)
Also, I would like to know how much the
"wiz-kid" is supposed to work for this SC and if
possible who he or she is.
thanx
Anders

Subject: [pki-guidelines] Potential dates/times for
AGSC meeting
It appears that the TPKI project is generating enough interest
to
warrant holding regular meetings. I am, therefore, canvassing
for
appropriate dates/times that will work for the subcommitee
members.
I
notice that we have the following demographics from the OASIS
AGSC
roster:
EU US-EST US-PST Total
-- ------ ------ -----
Voting
Member 1 1 2
Member 1 1 2
Observer 1 1 1
3
-----
7
=====
I'm not sure what the quorum guidelines
are, but it appears
that common-sense dictates, both voting members must
be
available for an item to be brought to vote, and that at least
3 of the
4 members (or should it be 4 of 7 members+observers?)
should be present to
form a quorum. I will clarify that with
the administrative people at
OASIS, but in the meantime, lets
try to find meeting times that work for
us.
I would recommend that we begin meeting starting in February
2006.
I propose the following dates and times; please let me know
which
ones work for you on a monthly cycle.
February 07, 2006 09:00am
PST, 12:00 Noon EST, 17:00 GMT
February 08, 2006 09:00am PST, 12:00 Noon EST,
17:00 GMT
February 09, 2006 09:00am PST, 12:00 Noon EST, 17:00
GMT
This will give us a chance to prepare the minutes and report it
to
the TC meetings that are held the following week.
Thank
you.
