RE: Notary services requirements -- directions?

[Larry Masinter <LMM@xxxxxxx>]

Personally, I don't think we get into too much trouble
using the word 'Notary' in the title of the working group
or even in the title of a document here and there, as long
as we're clear -- after all, it's a term that's been used
already in the industry, and we're not particularly offering
those services for sale, in any case. 

I think the requirements document might note that the
term may have restricted use in some legal jurisdictions,
and I think it is reasonable to add some wording to that effect.

Are time-stamping services associated with unsigned
data out of scope, because they're already covered?

Are combined archive-and-certification services
(which archive data and also provide for the certification
of the data archived) out of scope?
