The PKIX and S/MIME Working Groups have been closed for some time. Some updates have been proposed to the X.509 certificate documents produced by the PKIX Working Group and the electronic mail security documents produced by the S/MIME Working Group. The Some PKIX and S/MIME (SPASM) Working Group is chartered to make updates where there is a known constituency interested in real deployment and there is at least one sufficiently well specified approach to the update so that the working group can sensibly evaluate whether to adopt a proposal. The current charter encompasses updates to satisfy the following needs: 1. Specify the way to include an i18n email address as a subject alternative name and an issuer alternative name. draft-melnikov-spasm-eai-addresses is a proposal in this space. 2. Specify the way to use authenticated encryption in S/MIME. draft-schaad-rfc5751-bis is a proposal in this space. In addition, the SPASM Working Group may investigate other updates to the documents produced by the PKIX and S/MIME Working Groups, but the SPASM Working Group shall not adopt any of these potential work items without rechartering. No such re-chartering is envisaged until one or more of the above work items have been successfully delivered to the RFC editor queue.
