- Reported by Jeffrey Schiller/MIT
-
- Minutes of the Privacy Enhanced Mail Working Group (PEM)
-
- The PEM Working Group met at the San Jose IETF on Tuesday December 6,
- 1994. Jeff Schiller Chaired the session in the absence of and at the
- request of Steve Kent, PEM Working Group Chair.

-
- Document Discussion
-
- There was one item on the agenda: Consideration of moving the MIME-PEM
- integration documents (draft-ietf-pem-mime-07.txt and
- draft-ietf-pem-sigenc-02.txt) to Proposed Standard.
-
- Jeff started the discussion by asking for a show of hands of those who
- had read the latest documents. Roughly 25% of the 60 or so people
- present indicated that they had read the documents. Roughly 50%
- indicated that they had read the document versions as they existed after
- the Toronto IETF.
-
- Jim Galvin, one of the document's authors explained that the changes
- made since Toronto were to accommodate input received at the Toronto
- meeting. Beyond that input the only other change was the removal of the
- PGP key identifiers from consideration.
-
- Additional discussion revolved around the lack of implementation
- experience, only TIS has an implementation. Some concern was raised
- that no one really knew how to process a recursive MIME message that had
- PEM enhancements embedded in it.
-
- Discussion continued for about 30 minutes after which no new points were
- being raised. At this point Jeff asked those present if anyone objected
- to moving the documents forward as is, allowing for editing changes that
- have no direct impact on the protocol. The consensus was to move on.
- The Group agreed that the next step is to publish a last call on the
- mailing list.
-
- Assuming the last call on the mailing list results in a consensus
- position, Steve Kent, PEM Working Group Chair will decide when to
- request the document be advanced to Proposed Standard.
