Subject: Call for Participation: Security and Privacy Agenda Workshop,
 March 3, 2015
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

On March 3 CNI is going to host a small workshop to develop a near 
term agenda for work needed to improve security and privacy in 
systems related to scholarly communication and access to scholarly 
information resources. The focus will be largely technical, and will 
emphasize setting an agenda for various groups to address needs and 
problems, rather than details of how to solve specific problems. I've 
deliberately left the agenda  scoped rather broadly , and I want to 
look at everything from encouraging wider and more routine use of 
HTTPS to hardening some popular protocols like OAI-PMH. Technical 
identity management related issues are also in scope, as are some 
discussions about appropriate levels of assurance.

We'll meet in Washington DC from 10AM-3PM on Tuesday, March 3. CNI 
will provide refreshments and lunch, but we will not cover travel 
expenses.

This will be a small workshop, and we will do our best to balance for 
different perspectives. If you are interested in attending, please 
send  an email to Joan Lippincott  (joan@cni.org) with a brief 
summary of the expertise and perspective you would bring to the 
meeting. Given that the meeting is only about a month away, I'll send 
out a first batch of acceptances by Feb 13, and after than respond to 
later applications as they come in. I'll provide more detailed 
logistical information with acceptances.

There will be a public report from the meeting, and for those who 
cannot attend, suggestions and comments are welcome going into the 
meeting.

If you have questions, please be in touch with me by email.
