Re: [802SEC] ITU Conformity Database
Mike,
It appears to me that the ITU is "allowing" companies to post to their database a declaration of conformance.
There is no indication that testing for conformance is required by the ITU and that any posting is a voluntary action.
Are you reading something more sinister into this database action that requires a response from IEEE 802?

Dear RR-TAG and EC,
Attached is the url to the ITU conformity database which went on line last Friday. This is the evolution of the earlier "ITU Mark" proposal. It may be a good idea to review this concept with your sponsors. During the March meeting we can discuss if the RR-TAG should draft comments.

The concept of a conformity database seems to be expanding. Last Thursday at the ETSI 5th network security workshop an initiative to create an EU "mark" and pursuit of a similar course of action as the ITU is taking was discussed.
It is beginning to appear that this topic is not going to disappear. A constructive and effective response may be appropriate.
Regards,
Mike
