Veni -

Just to be clear, this is not a call for proposals, this is a one-time
call for participation by a handful of subject experts. If you have
recommendations for individuals who can fill that role, please let me 
know!

I would also welcome pointers from any of the chapters on existing
materials related to Trust and Security issues. I'm building a reading
list and would be happy to have your input.

Thanks -
