Subject: Early Reviewers for PKI Action Plan
At our F2F meeting, we agreed to talk more on the email list about these topics after we had agreed on a first draft of the PKI Action Plan: * who we should ask to review, comment on, and/or endorse the PKI Action Plan and/or join the PKI TC * who will contact them and how we will convince them to act Paul Evans has already signed up to talk to FPKITWG and The Open Group's Messaging Forum. Way to go, Paul! What other key stakeholders should we approach during the next month (before we go public with the draft Action Plan)? Here are some ideas. Please feel free to add on or comment. For large groups (like IETF PKIX), we should probably just communicate with their leaders or (if there's a critical meeting in the next month) describe the high points of the Action Plan with bullets but not show them a copy. * major PKI vendors not represented on the TC already Microsoft, Netscape, any others? * major PKI industry and standards groups Asia PKI Forum (leaders only for now), IETF PKIX WG (leaders only for now), any others? * people who responded to our surveys * groups and companies who forwarded our survey invitations PKI Research Workshop (leaders only for now), Internet 2 Higher Education PKI Technical Advisory Group, FPKITWG (bullets only), ETSI, MCOMM, CEN, APEC eSTG, Radicchio Consortium, Government of Canada PKI Policy Management Authority Advisory Committee, ISSA (leaders only for now), Asia PKI Forum (leaders only for now) * major application vendors and industry groups for documents/document signing, email, and electronic commerce document vendors: Microsoft, Sun, Corel, Adobe document groups: OASIS Open Office XML Format TC, W3C XForms WG, someone at ABA re contracts? email vendors: Microsoft, Qualcomm, Netscape, IBM, Novell email groups: IETF SMIME WG, The Open Group Messaging Forum, EEMA electronic commerce vendors: IBM, Sun, Microsoft electronic commerce groups: OASIS ebXML Joint Committee, others? * major PKI customers/users Johnson & Johnson, Government of Canada, U.S. Government, University of Houston, others? I assume that those of us whose employers fall into one of these categories (like IBM and Sun) will find the right people within our organizations to review the PKI Action Plan. What should we be asking these folks? I think we should ask them for comments on the Action Plan and ask them to consider joining the TC so they can help implement it. Maybe we should also ask them to consider making a formal endorsement in February. We should also ask them to not distribute the draft Action Plan until we put it out for public review (in November). But I think we should feel free to show these folks the draft Action Plan. To make that easier, we should probably post it on our web site without a link (like we have done with our survey results). What do you think? OK? If so, please start signing up for folks that you want to contact. Thanks, Steve
