Subject: RE: [pki-tc] RE: PKI Education SC status report
June, Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by a "link farm," but it sounds the SC is recommending that we provide pointers to specific PKI topics, which would imply organizing the links to provide focused information, as you note below, and not simply providing a set of un-organized links. If this is correct, then I am comfortable with the SC's perspectives. Thanks to the SC for considering my comments. John ------------------------------------------------------------------ John T.

In the Education SC conference call last week, we reviewed your comments. We see your perspective in providing as many links as possible for information on PKI. However, upon further discussion, all of the PKI Education SC members disagreed with this view. There are plenty of PKI link farms out there. For us to maintain another one would not help people to overcome obstacles in deploying and using PKI. We have heard clearly in our survey responses and from our business relationships that people want focused information. They want pointers to the information they need: PKI basics, business issues (benefits, ROI, etc.), standards, and other key resources. From our analysis, we have identified the missing pieces in the PKI resource page like ROI information and "how-to" documents (cookbooks, best practices, etc.). We believe that by providing the pointers to existing documents and developing 'missing documents' in the PKI resource page would benefit people and provide the greatest value to them when they are researching info regarding PKI. thanks june June Leung Manager, PKI Department FundSERV Inc. 1730 130 King St W Toronto ON M5X 1E5 T. 416.350.2516 F. 416.362.6668 -----Original Message----- From: Sabo, John T [mailto:John.T.Sabo@ca.com] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:12 AM To: June Leung; PKI TC Subject: RE: [pki-tc] RE: PKI Education SC status report June, I am fully in support of updating and expanding our PKI related information. In fact, our ability to provide strong resources for all aspects of PKI is a strength of our focus as a member section and the TC's efforts. As I suggested on our conference call, I do not agree with the proposal that we eliminate extensive links ("link farm") and instead link to other "link farm" resources. As I understand this proposal, we would reduce the number of categories to those proposed in the attachment, and turn to other external Web sites for their links, and rely on their approach to organizing the information. I think this would be counter-productive to our educational and research goals, and our value as a major resource. Viewing our Web links and information as the "first stop" only and maintaining a relatively static page may be necessary at some point, but given our current budget situation, I believe we can afford a more comprehensive approach. In fact, I believe it is to our benefit to think even more expansively about organizing our resources page than in the current PKI Forum resources page, and have annotated categories for PKI from legal, business process, security, Web Services, return on investment, vendor resources, case studies, technical interoperability, policy interoperability, hardware (including PKI on mobile devices, smart cards, etc.), and other more granular categories. I believe this would enhance the value of our Web page resources, and reflect our perspectives. For example, a set of categories could be associated with our subcommittees - costs, testing, etc. This approach would reflect our needs and interests and organized the way we believe is best, not that of another Web site. It would take time and regular review to produce this kind of resource, but I believe it would be an excellent investment for the contractor we discussed hiring for this and other purposes. If at some point we were unable to manage the maintenance of the site, then we could scale back to a more modest approach as recommended.

I haven't receive any comments regarding our proposal for the modification of the PKI resource page. As I mentioned in the TC con call, this page is very important, it includes a lot of information right now, do we want to streamline that? What type of changes do you think it's valuable? The Education SC is having a conference call in two weeks. If you can get back to us by Oct 4/04, we can discuss our strategy. Thank you very much for your assistance. (see attached proposal) june June Leung Manager, PKI Department FundSERV Inc. 1730 130 King St W Toronto ON M5X 1E5 T. 416.350.2516 F. 416.362.6668 -----Original Message----- From: June Leung Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 6:05 PM To: PKI TC Cc: Stephen Wilson (E-mail) Subject: PKI Education SC status report The Education SC had a fairly productive month, thanks to one of our SC members - Stephen Wilson's contribution. Action Item: Education SC to come up with a proposal for the PKI Forum Resource page (see attached) From our discussions, we propose to divide the information into the 4 categories based on the PKI Action Plan for the Education SC. We prefer not to maintain a 'link farm' in the PKI resource page since links require constant maintenance and there are also a number of link farms exist, we would rather include a link farm section in our site. Discussion: We suggest that the Education SC post the ongoing efforts in the PKI Forum Resource page since information will be divided in the 4 categories that match the PKI Action Plan. A link in the Education SC TC page will be pointing to this page. Education SC update: Thanks for some of the TC member's input, we were able to obtain more info regarding ROI on PKI. (see attached) We would like to know if there are TC members who have subscriptions to the Burton Group, there are 2 position papers we would like someone to review and let us know if there are any information that would benefit our ROI analysis. We also want to discuss with the Lower Costs subcommittee to explore the benefits of ROI in lowering PKI costs. Other Info: I contacted the webmaster in Oasis, any modifications to the PKI Member Section pages have to go through Oasis Web Master. Any modifications to the TC page can be done by the TC chairs and secretary. The chairs of the subcommittees can also modify your own sub page. thanks june June Leung Manager, PKI Department FundSERV Inc. 1730 130 King St W Toronto ON M5X 1E5 T. 416.350.2516 F. 416.362.6668
