An updated agenda for the May 14 meeting in DC of the
President's Export Council Subcommittee on Encryption
(PECSENC) has been provided by Lisa Ann Carpenter,
Committee Liaison Officer (202-482-2583):
Opening remarks by the new chairman, William Crowell
(ex-Deputy DIRNSA)
Encryption initiatives of the Bureau of Export Administration,
by William Reinsch
Overview of the Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office (CIAO)
by Jeffrey Hunker, Director
1:30 Presentation by the office of Senator McCain on his crypto bill
2:00 Report on Congressional activities
2:30 Presentations on Bernstein by the two sides, Cindy Cohn and
Department of Justice
3:00 Adjourn (cut back from 5:00 as the FR announced)
Also, a list of PECSENC members was promised but has not yet arrived.
This information is hard to come by so it will be most welcomed.
Minutes of past meetings and policy recommendations are elusive too.
See the one public statement:

It's shameful and maybe illegal to hide PECSENC information. Recent
scutbutt was that acting PECSENC chair Stewart Baker (ex-NSA) was
going to help John Gilmore set up a public web site for PECSENC
affairs. That accountability initiative appears to have died with
Crowell's appointment, or to be fair, is more likely being studied
to slow death to cozzen natsec grizzes -- which fits NSA's MO to
SIDA misfit crypto naifs.
