PKIX Part 1 : validity period

[Denis Pinkas <D.Pinkas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since the next meeting is slowly coming, I took a look at the latest
specification draft-ietf-pkix-ipki-part1-04.txt from March 26 1996
(1997) and the text on validity (section 4.1.2.5 ) still looks like
that:         ^^
           
This field indicates the dates on which the certificate becomes valid
(notBefore) and on which the certificate ceases to be valid (notAfter). 
(...)

This text still needs to be ammended to reflect the discussion we had in
San Jose. 
I am expecting something along the following lines:

This field indicates the time period during which the CA warrants that
it will maintain information about the status of the certificate, i.e.
maintain revocation data. 

Other changes are needed as well.

When is the next version scheduled ?

Denis
