These meetings of the Study Group for Future Public-Key Cryptography
Standards and P1363 working group are open to the public.

At the study group meeting, we will discuss and hopefully vote on the
submission of two Project Authorization Requests (PARs): one on P1363.1:
Specifications for Lattice-Based Public-Key Cryptographic Techniques (or
some similar name) and one on P1363.2: Specifications for Public-Key
Cryptography: Password-Based Techniques (or some similar name).  We will
also discuss action items for getting a PAR ready for the Public-Key
Cryptography registry.  The group will entertain further presentations on
future standards work as needed and discuss the operation of the study group
for its lifetime.  All attendees of this meeting are considered to be full
voting members of the study group.  It is anticipated that there will be
some votes at this meeting regarding the approval of Project Authorization
Requests to the IEEE and our sponsor.

At the P1363 working group meeting, we will review the latest draft of
P1363a and work towards the completion of the draft standard.  The group
will entertain additional presentations on the topics approved for inclusion
into P1363a.  We will discuss future plans with P1363a and directly related
activities including the possibility of starting work on another addendum to
std-1363.  Please see the IEEE P1363 working group bylaws for membership and
voting procedures for the working group.

The meeting will be held in conjunction with the Crypto '00 conference and
as such has no corporate or individual host.
