A common meeting calendar might be helpful if that is possible, or perhaps just pointers to the meetings sections of all members off of the SJC page.

I note that Dee Schur of OASIS has helped to arrange our next XCBF F2F in coordination with the [1]XML Conference and Exposition 2002 and offered this to all SJC members along with another meeting date in Dallas in conjunction with the PKI Forum meeting there.

This would be something perhaps that Dee could help us with, and we should discuss this with Karl. Unfortunately, Karl will not be on the call today.

(And neither will we if I don't get the meeting information posted in a hurry.)

Hi,

Now I am on the list I can explain the idea. It appears to me that we are rapidly reaching the stage where some coordination between the security groups would be useful. In the past we have grouped meetings together on an informal basis. As the number of active security groups grows more formal coordination is likely to be required.

Grouping TCs together has many other benefits besides less travel. It encourages discussion between groups. It also makes for more definite deadlines. Another advantage is that scheduling becomes much easier since the dates can be planned much further in advance if done jointly. I do not take speaking engagements or arrange internal meetings during IETF week as I know when it is long before I plan my own calendar. I often have to cancel or reschedule meetings for TC events.

Coordination need not be extensive, but it does need to take place way in advance of the meetings. Now is the time to pick dates for the second half of 2003 for example. Just throwing out a city and week would be a good start.

I agreed to pass along a request (actually it came up during in the wss-qop discussion call) that the JC try to coordinate convenient locales, for example at shows and public events for security TCs to meet. The idea was to reduce travel by having 2 or more TCs meet on non-conflicting days (or times) during the same week in the same venue.
