    • Last time we moved from working draft to committee specification draft, we had a zip file that included headerfiles, etc. Dieter will work on creating that.

PKCS#11 v3.0 Errata

• Errata has been published: https://docs.oasis-open.org/pkcs11/pkcs11-curr/v3.0/errata01/

New Business

• The 3.3 work items page is published: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/pkcs11/3.3WorkItems
  • • but do we want to start tracking work elsewhere?
    • let's use the wiki in our GH.
      • • KMIP example: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/kmip/wiki
        • New PK11 wiki: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/pkcs11/wiki
    • Could we had GH Issues?
      • • Valerie: We had trouble using JIRA issues in the past as a committee, but hopeful with integrated tools we will have better luck.
        • Example OpenSSL dashboard: https://github.com/orgs/openssl/projects/20/views/11 , https://github.com/orgs/openssl/projects/20/views/13
    • Tim moves to begin using GH Issues and GH Wiki beginning with 3.3, and to authorize a subcommittee to migrate existing data from the obsolete OASIS wiki. Michael seconds.
      • • No comments. No abstentions. No objections. Motion passes.
        • Tim will share contacts from KMIP that did their migration to see if there is something usable.
• Simo ponders: could we switch to markdown in GH? Given our current normative document is in Word, that may be time consuming to move into Markdown.
  • • Several of us haven't used this format to edit a document, and would like to see a proof of concept before making a decision
    • Tim moves to accept Simo's suggestion to create a proof of concept of our main specification in Markdown (a chapter or two) for us to experience what it may be like to edit and maintain a large document in markdown. Simo seconded. No comments. No abstentions. No objections. Motion passes.
