Re: CVE Advancements

While I like the idea of a more general meeting I think we need to focus
on CVE initially.  After we have accomplished what we need to then I think
we will be in position to have a more generalized event around
Vulnerability Identification and Reporting and the associated tools,
databases and coordination activities.

Steve, I like the doodle poll idea. Can you set that up as you suggested?
I would include three weeks,  the weeks of March 28th - April 1st,  April
11th - 15th and April 18th - 22nd.

As suggested we should allocate 3 days to address the issues. Active CVE
Board members and the current CVE team should be the target participants.

The next thing we need to do is to start figuring out what an agenda would
be.  We all have a list of topics. It would be an interesting exercise for
folks to put together your individual list of the more critical items you
would like to see addressed.  This should include members of the CVE team.
 Then maybe, with a little correlation, we can arrive at a useful and
focused agenda.
