[Plants] Re: Scope and charter

[Wendy Brown - QT3LB-C <[e-mail]>]

I am just an observer on this list but I would request a slight change to

 "PKIs are also used for other services
and while those are not the main focus of PLANTS, the WG will
consider how changes might affect such deployments."


thanks,

Wendy
