Subject: Draft email on PKI Action Plan Support
At our last PKI TC meeting, I promised to draft a "Statement of Support" that people can use to indicate their support for the PKI Action Plan. I have since decided that's probably too formal. We want to make it easy for people and organizations to indicate their support. We don't want to have something so formal that the lawyers get called in. So I have drafted the following email. I'm thinking this is something we could send to colleagues, to our senior management, to key influencers in the PKI world, and even to large email lists. Please review this email. We will discuss it at tomorrow's PKI TC meeting. Thanks, Steve P.S. I hope that the room number for our reception at the RSA conference will be settled soon. Then we can add that information here. And I'll tell you *all* about it tomorrow. At least, all that is settled so far. ----------- As you may know, the OASIS PKI Technical Committee (PKI TC) is working to identify and address the primary obstacles to PKI deployment and usage. Based on results from surveys and dialog with PKI stakeholders, the PKI TC has prepared a PKI Action Plan that lists the obstacles identified through the surveys and proposes specific actions to address them. The PKI Action Plan is available for review from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/pki/pkiactionplan.pdf Executing this PKI Action Plan will require the combined efforts of many stakeholders: PKI customers, vendors, standards bodies, and experts. Your help is needed! If you support this plan, we would ask you to do the following: 1) Sign on as a supporter of the PKI Action Plan Send an email to pki-tc-comment@lists.oasis-open.org informing us that we can list you as a supporter in the PKI Action Plan. Organizational endorsements are especially valuable, but individual endorsements are also welcome. Please indicate exactly how you would like your endorsement to appear (e.g., "Dr. Jeremiah Benton, CTO, Big Company, Inc."). 2) Join the PKI Technical Committee or a subcommittee working on a specific Action Item in the Plan We have formed several subcommittees to implement the five Action Items listed in the PKI Action Plan. If you would like to join one of these, please contact us by email at pki-tc-comment@lists.oasis-open.org By signing on as an early supporter of the PKI Action Plan, you will be visible as a leader in the computer security industry. And of course you will benefit in years to come as PKI becomes easier to use. If you have any other comments, suggestions, or ways in which you can help, feel free to contact us. We plan to roll out the PKI Action Plan at the RSA Conference this year. If you will be there, please join us for a celebratory reception on Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 6:00 PM. Come learn more about the PKI Action Plan and help us celebrate its rollout. The room number for our reception has not been settled yet. For this information, please check our web site at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/pki closer to the conference date. Thanks, The OASIS PKI Technical Committee pki-tc-comment@lists.oasis-open.org
