Reported by Joyce K. Reynolds/ISI and J. Paul Holbrook/CERT

SSPHWG Minutes

Discussion of Handbook's current draft status from November 29, 1990.
It has been decided to go ahead with the I-D process to RFC publication.

We have formally requested a 30 minute plenary slot at the Atlanta IETF
to talk about the Site Security Policy Handbook, which we expect to be a
FYI/RFC by that plenary.

We have established the following firm dates for the Handbook:


   o The document is open for comments and revisions until May 15, 1991.
     Paul Holbrook will be working on the contents of the document for
     fine tuning and clarity per comments received back from SSPHWGers.
     Paul's deadline is April 15, 1991.

     Joyce Reynolds will take over and make editorial adjustments to the
     document, per comments received back from SSPHWGers on how the
     document could have a more even ``flow'' if some sections were
     rearranged.  Joyce's deadline is May 15, 1991.

   o After the May 15th close of comments and revisions, Paul and Joyce
     will continue to incorporate any final comments.  The document will
     be submitted as an Internet-Draft by EOB Pacific Time, May 31,
     1991.

   o There were a substantial number of comments about Section 2,
     especially from Rich Pethia of the CERT. Barbara Fraser of CERT has
     agreed to take over Chapter 2, with the assistance of Allen
     Sturtevant, to rework it to be consistent with the comments
     received.  An updated Chapter 2 will be provided by the May 15th
     deadline.

   o Once the Handbook is in the I-D process, there will be a 30 day
     stay in I-D land, allowing for final comments by June 28, 1991.
     Paul and Joyce will edit any comments and submit the I-D to the RFC
     Editor by EOB Pacific Time, July 12, 1991.

   o Ask Noel Chiappa about his lawyer report to put in the Handbook's
     Bibliography - per Vint Cerf suggestion.

   o How about an Index in this Handbook??  Yes, per Vint Cerf.  Joyce
     will check on this in the ms macros.

   o PostScript/NRoff help will be provided by Vint Cerf and Jeff
     Edelheit.

   o ``Beta testing'' the Handbook:

      -  Allen Sturtevant will provide input from Bob Aiken
      -  CERTTools
      -  Washington University - Dan Weidman
      -  Security Policy and SSPHWG members
      -  Mike Roberts - EDUCOM

   o Suggestion from Vint Cerf - organize a workshop that would use this
     document.  CNRI could provide some sponsorship.
