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.

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 ADs
