7. Lessons Learned CA policy has a major impact on EE use of CMP
Need to collect basic policy items
A few areas in specs are unclear
Need list ‘lore’ to implement
Is 2510bis stable?
Disagreement on pkiConf content

8. Conclusions CMP Interop does not currently exist
CMP Interop CAN be achieved this year
Hard work all around
Clean up the specs?
More participation needed
