Rob,
You have seen the progression of PEM since its inception. Could you
make a short summary of what you see the current issues and state of affairs
of PEM deployment to be? MITRE has been fielding PEM; how its
going?
Dave Crocker asked once the degree to which X.500 was used (in the
Internet), and compared the rate of deployment with that of other
Directories. Essentially, he also posed the question, if its not widely
deployed, then why not?
If I posed the same question to you, regarding PEM, what would
you say? What set of actions do we need to perform so that
PEM deploys at the same explosive rate as gopher?
Should there be any national intervention(s) to
helps things along? If so, any ideas on what they might be?
