Dear EC members, We provide access to our drafts to “active participants”. The practice of 802 is generally (with some exceptions) to grant reciprocal access to each others’ members. So far, so good. In 802.11, we control access through a password. This password is changed annually. And there’s the rub. We change the password annually in full and certain knowledge that other groups do not do so. The 802.1 password is well known, stable, and has been handed out on demand. It is also known by google, although I admit it would be pretty hard to discover if you don’t already know the answer. These characteristics make the 802.11 password change nugatory. I would suggest partitioning access into two pools identified by the security of their password. I will provide the 802.11
password to members of other groups on proving their active participation in that group. Comments? Best Regards, Adrian P STEPHENS Tel: +44 (1793) 404825 (office) Tel: +1 (408) 2397485 (mobile, USA) ---------------------------------------------- |
