Steve,
With regard to The Open Group, I believe either Chris Harding or Ian
Dobson would be good contacts (perhaps a joint letter to both would be
the best approach). Chris is the contact person for the Directory
Interoperability Forum (DIF). They started a PKI Guidelines Initiative
and were developing a Directory & Key Management Infrastructure business
scenario. Ian, who is the contact for the Security Forum, then helped
put together a PKI Guidelines & Manageability activity. Their effort
concluded in October 2002, with the circulation of a preliminary draft
and discussing their doubts to the value of the product. I'm willing to
contact them.
