[Pgi-wg] Documenting the security agreement/info progress

[Morris Riedel]

Hi security folks,

  yes - so I try to create initial factsheets for each threads once I see
agreements. Those agreements will be put on the factsheets then circulated
for another review before working on a specification.

Take care,
Morris

P.S. In order that I am not becoming a bottleneck - I talk with Johannes to
help me with this process! CIAO!
