The scope of >the working group could include API issues for secure mail, trusted databases, >secure ftp and telnet, and X applications. I'm not sure I understand the scope. Is this a suggestion that the API be applicable to someone who may wish to code applications such as secure mail, TDB, .... Or is there something that I don't see here about what your proposing about an API (Application Programming Interface)? Any how, isn't POSIX.6 just such an API? Won't the platform / OS companies be compelled to provide .6? I realize that .6 is not done quite yet, but wonder if proposing an alternative API to .6 is a wise use of TSIG time. I'm sorry I won't be able to make the July meeting. I hope to be able to start contributing to TSIG again later this year. In any case, I'm interested in following the activities of such a group.
