Discussion of Handbook's current draft status from 29-Nov-90.  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:

1) The document is open for comments and revisions until 5/15.

   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 4/15.

   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 5/15.

2) After the 5/15 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, 5/31.

3) 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 5/15 deadline.

4) 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 6/28.  Paul and Joyce
   will edit any comments and submit the I-D to the RFC Editor by
   EOB Pacific Time, 7/12.

Additional items:

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

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

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

4) "beta testing" the Handbook:

        a) Allen Sturtevant will provide input from Bob Aiken
        b) CERTTools
        c) Washington University - Dan Weidman
        d) Security Policy and SSPHWG members
        e) Mike Roberts - EDUCOM

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