Subject: Plan for Gathering Supporters
I just uploaded to our web site a draft list of people and organizations we should contact to ask for their support on the PKI Action Plan. The URL is: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/pki/download.php/5308/action-plan-supporter-plan.txt Just in case that URL is too long for you, I have included a copy of the document below. But you should generally go to our web site to find the latest version. Please review and comment on the list, adding things as you see fit. Then sign up for the people and/or organizations that you are willing to approach and let's go get some supporters! I'm going to start now, since I already signed up for five or ten groups. Wish me luck! Thanks, Steve ----------- Gathering Supporters for the OASIS PKI TC's PKI Action Plan We're ready to gather a list of supporters for the OASIS PKI Technical Committee's PKI Action Plan. Here's a list of influential individuals and organizations within the PKI and security community. The PKI TC members will sign up to contact these folks and ask for their endorsement and aid. Our focus here is on influential individuals and organizations. We will include all the people who responded to our surveys and gave us their email address. We will also include all the organizations who helped distribute our survey invitation. But we will include others as well: customers, vendors, standards groups, and all sorts of organizations whose support will be needed to implement our plan. This list will change over time as new people and groups are added and then contacted. Send updates to steve.hanna@sun.com. Steve will merge them into this document and post updates on the TC web site. 1) PKI vendors Most of the PKI vendors are represented on the PKI TC either as Voting Members or as Observers. We'll ask these representatives to ask their management to approve endorsement of the PKI Action Plan. These contact people are: John Sabo from Computer Associates, Sharon Boeyen from Entrust, Kefeng Chen from GeoTrust, Krishna Yellepeddy from IBM, Phil Fulchino and David Skyberg from RSA, and Alex Deacon from Verisign. The biggest PKI vendors that aren't represented on the PKI TC are BeTrusted, Microsoft, and Netscape. Steve Hanna has decent contacts at each of those organizations. Does anyone else have good contacts there? If not, he'll proceed to ask them. 2) Send to all OASIS members We should get permission to include our request for support in the OASIS News, a biweekly newsletter that goes out to OASIS members and other interested parties. Somebody from the Publicity Subcommittee should sign up for this one and ask Dee Schur, who edits that newsletter. 3) Send to PKI Research Workshop attendees Paul Evans got permission to do this last June when we sent out the survey invite. Paul, are you up for this again? 4) Send to the IETF PKIX working group mailing list Steve Hanna is active in this working group. He will ask permission from the chairs of the working group to forward the request for endorsement to their mailing list. 6) Send to Asia PKI Forum members and lists Jeremy Hilton handled this last June when we sent out the survey invite. He sent the invite to Riccardo Genghini, who forwarded it to the Asia PKI Forum. Jeremy, are you up for this again? 7) Send to Internet 2 Consortium members Steve Hanna will send the request for support to the Internet 2 Higher Education PKI Technical Advisory Group and encouraged them to forward it to other folks with PKI experience. 8) U.S. Government's Federal PKI Technical Working Group (FPKITWG) Paul Evans handled this last June when we sent out the survey invite. Paul, will you take care of this again? 9) EEMA In June, Jeremy Hilton contacted them. Jeremy, would you do so again? 10) The Open Group Paul Evans handled the Open Group last June when we sent out the survey invite. Paul, will you take care of them again? 11) ETSI Jeremy Hilton handled ETSI ESI last time. OK with you, Jeremy? Phil Griffin handled MCOMM. Phil, are you still out there? 12) CEN WS WG Jeremy Hilton sent the invitation to Riccardo Genghini, who forwarded it to the CEN WS-ESign list. Jeremy, would you do this again? 13) APEC IS Security Standards Group Jeremy Hilton sent the invitation to someone who will forward it to the APEC eSTG. Jeremy, would you take this again? 14) Radicchio Consortium Hemant Adarkar handled this last time. I guess we need a new contact. 15) Government of Canada Ross Smith sent the survey invite to the Government of Canada PKI Policy Management Authority Advisory Committee and the Canadian Public Sector CIO Council. Ross, if you're around you can send the endorsement request around similarly. If Ross isn't around, he gave me a backup contact. 16) ISSA John Sabo arranged for the survey invitation to be forwarded to the officers and board members of the ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) for further distribution. John, can you do this with the endorsement request? 17) Survey Respondents Steve will send the endorsement request to all the survey respondents who gave us their email addresses. 18) Standards Groups I think we need volunteers for ISO/ITU and IEEE. The IETF is already covered above. 19) Application Vendors Here are some important names and people to contact them (where available): Adobe, Microsoft, Sun (Steve), QUALCOMM (Steve), Novell (Ximian, Steve). 20) Operating System Vendors Apple, Sun (Steve), Microsoft, Red Hat, SuSE, IBM (Krishna?), Novell 21) Hardware System Vendors IBM (Krishna?), HP, Sun (Steve), Dell 22) Networking Vendors Cisco, Nortel 23) PKI Customers U.S. Government, Government of Canada, U.K. Government Universities (Steve through Internet 2 Consortium) Johnson & Johnson, ISOC PKI Group (Steve) 24) PKI Customer Groups SIMC, The Open Group (Paul), ??? 25) Consulting Firms, Auditors, and Systems Integrators BAH (Paul), KPMG (Mark), Accenture, Deloitte, Ernst & Young CygnaCom, Gemini, Orion Security 26) Researchers MITRE, BBN (Steve Hanna will ask Steve Kent) 27) Other big security vendors Certicom, Schlumberger, Symantec, McAfee, ActivCard Gemplus, nCipher, Netegrity, DigitalSignatureTrust (Identrus), Counterpane 28) Analysts Burton Group, Yankee Group (Steve), Gartner Group, Forrester Research, Meta Group, Giga Group, "Perus"? 29) Big names in PKI Diffie (Steve), Hellman, Rivest (Steve, unless someone else wants to volunteer), Shamir, Adleman, ...
