I apologize for my late reply, I am at the ICMC conference this week.
the ones that do care about these statuses don't usually come because they already know the statuses from attending those meetings.
^^^ That is the exactly the case for me. I am deeply involved in the HCD iTC and HIT, so the IDS meetings are just a summary for me. And Common Criteria is my primary focus.
So I would vote for option 3.

>> So, I'd like to here back from you - the people of the IDS reflector and on this DL -by this Wednesday your choice of the following three options:
>> • Maintain the regular IDS WG Meetings for now. We would have a meeting this Thursday at the normal time of 3PM ET / 12 N PT. The agenda would be a review of the recent HCD iTC and HIT Meetings and a special topic that is currntly TBD,
>> • Have a special IDS WG Meeting this Thursday at the at the normal time of 3PM ET / 12 N PT. The sole topic would be an open discussion of the future of IDS and where it should be going.
>> • Stop having the IDS WG Meetings every two weeks and just have the IDS Session at the PWS Face-to-Face Meetings. The PWG SC can determine when to restart the IDS WG Meetings
>> Please let me know what your thoughts are here. If I don't here anything I will assume it is business as usual and go with Option 1. Below is the link to the meeting if we do have it.
>> Except for the time that Joe Murdock roped me into doing the IDS Common Log spec I've only ever participated at the IDS F2F meetings. I have no skin in the HCD iTC game, so while I understand its importance I can't really say whether stopping regular IDS meetings will hurt/affect that effort.
>> I *do* think that we need the IDS WG to stick around because IPP ultimately depends on it as a resource for all things security - we've adopted a number of properties/elements from the IDS Attributes spec and use IDS log for anything requiring a log. Plus Smith's latest firmware update registration and "strong identity" work will likewise depend on IDS or IDS-endorsed solutions/specifications/standards.
>> *If* concall attendance is an issue, there is no sense you wasting your time as chair to prepare for and hold a call every two weeks. *If* there is an urgent topic that requires discussion, call a special meeting during the IDS time slot when you know the interested parties will attend. The key is to have a place/time for printing security professionals to be able to get together to discuss things and inform/guide the PWG at-large.
>> In short, I guess I'm saying that I, as an IPP WG officer and former PWG chair, prefer option 3 to keep IDS alive but reduce unnecessary meetings for you.
