Publicity Plan for PKI Obstacles Survey

Here is the draft Publicity Plan that I referred to yesterday.
Please review it, send comments or additions to me, and answer
questions marked with **. Send answers to me. I will correct
the Plan and post a revised version to this list.

Let's aim to get this taken care of by Friday. Sorry for the
short deadline, but I want to make sure we have plenty of time
to approach these folks and get their permission to send the
invitations.

Thanks,

Steve

Publicity Plan for PKI TC's PKI Deployment Obstacles Survey

We want to publicize the survey widely, but focussing on
people who have some experience with PKI deployment so
that we aren't overwhelmed with meaningless responses.
Therefore, we will circulate an invitation to participate
in the survey by email. Anyone who participates in the
survey will receive a copy of the results when they are ready.

Here is a list of ways we plan to distribute the invitation.

1) Ask PKI vendors to send it to customers

   Most of the PKI vendors are represented on the PKI TC.
   We'll ask those representatives to get permission from
   their management to send this announcement.

   The biggest PKI vendors who aren't represented on the
   PKI TC are Microsoft and Netscape. Peter Doyle will contact
   someone at Microsoft and Steve Hanna will contact someone at
   Netscape to ask if they would be willing to forward
   the invitation to their customers.

2) Send to all OASIS members

   Steve Hanna will ask someone from OASIS to approve this.

3) Send to PKI Research Workshop attendees

   Paul Evans has taken care of this. Thanks, Paul!

4) Send to the IETF PKIX working group mailing list

   Steve Hanna will ask the chairs of this list for their permission.

5) Send to the EMA PKI Challenge mailing list

   Peter Doyle will check in with Jeremy Hilton on this
   to see who should do it. ** Which one?

6) Send to Asia PKI Forum members and lists

   Terry Leahy or John Sabo will follow up on this. ** Which one?

7) Send to Internet 2 Consortium members

   Steve Hanna will take care of this.

8) U.S. Government's Federal PKI Technical Working Group (FPKITWG)

   Paul Evans will handle this.

9) EEMA

   Jeremy Hilton will take care of this (he's on the board).

10) The Open Group (maybe some subgroup?)

    Paul Evans will handle this. ** Which subgroup?

11) ETSI ESI

    Jeremy Hilton will handle this.

12) SEN WS WG
