However, instead of declaring this effort dead (or indefinitely offline), I= want to know if anyone is interested in taking over the management of the list a= nd moving the spec forward. The use cases would need to be finalized and the spec would have to be rebu= ilt according to those use cases, although a substantial part could be moved ov= er from the five existing drafts. The result would be an API that is flexible = enough to handle existing commercial applications, but robust enough to handle exi= sting scenarios with security domain separation for which PKCS#11-like APIs are=20 inadequate due to differences in logical model. Contact me privately to discuss a transition of leadership. Thanks, Lev
