You are cordially invited to participate in a meeting of the
above-referenced work groups of the Information Security
Committee on Thursday-Saturday, April 14-16, 1994 in Washington,
DC. These interdisciplinary work groups will continue to address
conventional and electronic notarization and certification
authority issues. The meetings are focused around the work
product of its respective participants and will be highly results
driven. During this session, an extra day will be allotted to
facilitate accelerated production of the work product.
At the last meeting (January 19-20, 1994), further progress was
made on the development of "Model Certificate-based Public Key
Guideline/Rules of Practice" ("Guideline"). It was decided that
the Guideline, as a first step, should reflect the requirements
for "higher assurance" implementations. Also, following nearly a
year of discussion and debate, a proposal was approved (by
majority vote) recommending that the Section support, in
principle, the creation of an entity to provide specialty
certification of attorney-notaries engaging in professional
services related to transnational electronic commerce.
Joe Potenza, Section Chair has kindly agreed to permitted us to
hold the meeting at his law firm in downtown Washington, DC.
Please observe the hosts office's strict non-smoking rule. The
meeting agenda and logistics are attached. I look forward to
seeing you in Washington, DC.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Baum
