I have been asked to start a feasibility study into the provision of a particular service. I am donating my time free of charge. A very short document outlining the background and the requirements of this service can be found at http://www.transcc.co.uk/RFCSecureConferenceService.html I would be grateful if members of this list could take a look at this document and offer their suggestions/comments. This mailing list is not the forum for this subject, so I'd encourage anyone that is able or wiling to comment on this RFC to post to the address in the above-mentioned document. I would like to stress that this project is not commercial and is never intended to make a profit. It may however turn out that we cannot keep the project open source, because of its very nature. It may also be the case that in order to convince the various intended end-users of the security of the project, that the final provider of the service might be a commercial organisation, and that end-users may be asked to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the service. It is perhaps a sad comment on today's world that there are some people out there that believe that a commercial company is somehow inherently more trustworthy than a non-profit-making organisation!
