This document is targeted for publication as an Informational RFC on the
Independent Stream.
It describes a profile of the CNSA and CRL that is deemed appropriate for
deployment in certain government environments in the USA.
The document has been clearly exposed to the IETF's securitty community and has
been discussed in SAAG.
Expert reviews were provided for the ISE by Jim Schaad and Alexey Melnikov, and
the document was updated accordingly.
Discussions of thee appropriateness of publication in the Independent Stream
were held widely including: on the SAAG list, in SAAG meetings, in the ISEB,
and in private conversation. Other publication forums suggested included the
IETF Stream and USG web sites.
The ISE concluded that (provided this profile does not serve to weaken the
security defined and recommended by the IETF) publication as an Independent
Submission RFC is of interest and value to the Internet community. Doing so
will be a benefit to implementers and deployers in the target community, and
may prove useful to other oversight bodies seeking to build their own profiles.
