Dear Security Area Participants:
Given the lack of response to this mail,
we will begin the process of shutting down the TC-RG at this time.
I wish to thank Wenbo and Andrew for their
efforts in forming the group and attempting to build interest in this
potentially valuable technology. It seems however, this may have been somewhat premature.
I would hope we can revisit this in the future as the technology becomes more
widely available and the community gains practical experience with it.
Regards,
Blair Dillaway and David Groep, Security

Subject: [SECURITY-AREA] TC RG
Proposed Shutdown
Dear Security Area Participants:
We have recently completed a review of
the security area groups. Based on the results, we propose to disband the
Trusted Computing Research Group (TC RG). We have noted that during the past
year:
- There has been no substantive progress
on the chartered deliverables
- There have been no active discussions
on the mailing list or regular conferences calls
- Attendance at the TC RG sessions has
been minimal
We have queried the chairpersons about
their continued interest and thoughts on re-invigorating this activity. Their
responses indicate:
- They are unable to commit to completing
the existing draft use-case document
- They do not have a proposal for
re-chartering the group to engage a critical mass of participants
We would appreciate hearing from anyone
who is willing to commit to completing the chartered deliverables and
participating in possible follow-on work. Unless a sufficient number of
committed participants come forward in the next 2-3 weeks, we will start the
process of shutting down the group.
Regards,
Blair Dillaway and David Groep, Security
