Section of Science and Technology
American Bar Association
You are cordially invited to participate in a meeting of the Information
Security Committee on Wed-Fri, November 9-11, 1994 in Washington, D.C.
The Committee will review contributions to the draft Model Global Public
Key Infrastructure Guidelines/Rules of Practice ("Rules"), and further
advance the development of a CyberNotarial institution. The meetings are
focused around the work product of its respective participants and will
be highly results driven.
At the last meeting (August 1-3, 1994 in Quebec City, Canada), further
progress was made on the development of the Rules. The final proposed
CyberNotary Resolution was approved by the Committee (and then approved
unanimously by the Section of Science and Technology Council at the
ABA's Annual Meeting on August 6).
Professor James Chandler has kindly agreed to host the meeting at the
National Intellectual Property Law Institute in the District of
Columbia. The meeting agenda and logistics are attached. I look forward to
seeing you at the
Institute.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Baum
Chair, Information Security Committee
and EDI/IT Division
