Here's the general information for the list you've
subscribed to, in case you don't already have it:
This mailing list is pursuing addition standards for doing EDI over the
Internet, beyond the basic EDI/MIME (RFC 1767) specification.
>From the draft charter for this nascent working group:
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of protocols for conducting
highly structured inter-organization exchanges, such as for making
purchases or initiating loan requests. The initial RFC1767 defined the
method for packaging the EDI X12 and UN/EDIFACT transactions sets in a MIME
envelope. However, several additional requirements for obtaining
multi-vendor, inter-operable service, over and above how the EDI
transactions are packaged, have come to light since the effort concluded.
These currently revolve around security issues such as EDI transaction
integrity, privacy and non-repudiation in various forms. Standards in
these and other areas are necessary to ensure inter-operability between EDI
packages over Internet. Various technologies already exist for these
additional features and the primary requirement is to review and select a
common set of components for use by the EDI community when it sends EDI
over the Internet. In effect, the effort is to provide an EDI over the
Internet Requirements Document.
Efforts by the working group will focus on a single deliverable:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Define the use of security and associated processes for exchanging EDI
transactions in MIME in a manner which supports core, functional, transport
services requirements.
