Site Security Handbook

Current Meeting Report

Site Security Handbook WG (SSH), chaired by Barbara Fraser.

The SSH working group met to finalize the last details of the User's Security Handbook.
A discussion of the scope of the glossary and some of its particulars was held, with enough
progress made for the editor(s) to update the current draft. The group will have a new draft
out by the end of September for WG Last Call, then send it up to the IESG for publication.
In particular, they wished to ensure that the Security ADs took a look at the draft, so April
will emphasize that when it arrives. The group will shut down after the publication of this
document, so will be closed by Orlando.
