Hi Adam, 

we had 3 conference calls to discuss the security requirements and now we have started the design team work. In fact the first call of the design team starts in 45 mins and the conference call details have been sent to the list. You are also welcome to join; it is an open design team. 

The security requirements document had been updated and I have distributed the meeting minutes to the list. 
All the drafts will be refreshed in time for the submission deadline. 

Ciao
Hannes
