The ATOCA WG needs you.

It has been determined that providing a means of authenticating alerts
is critical to the working group.

Please submit internet drafts containing proposals that address this
problem before September 12.

Such a proposal must be able to carry CAP-formatted alerts in such a
way that the source(s) of the alert can be authenticated by
recipients.  Attributing trust to that source is not necessarily
within scope, nor is it necessary to describe a protocol or delivery
architecture.

A submission made earlier than this date will give us more time to
discuss it.  That is good if we are to meet our later milestones for
adoption and publication.
