-------------------------------------------------

Present: chase, gerv, dave, blizzard, jst, asa, chofmann, myk, dbaron,
ben, mscott, cbeard, rafael, dougt, dveditz.

*Mozilla 1.8b*

- Plan is to put security fixes on the trunk, release that, get
   feedback, and release Firefox 1.0.1 after that
- Two more security fixes have got approval
- 23 blockers left; 11 have approvals but haven't landed
- 5 new nominations

*Firefox 1.0.1*

- Worried about the ByteVerifier trojan; want to have a warning on start
   page
- Need to get 1.4.2_06 or 1.5 to be protected
- Should make some noise about this - "critical update from Sun"

*UMO*

- Not yet ready to go
- They have the setup in place they want to ship with, but not tested
   yet
- Some testing was done over the weekend
- 18th and 25th dates optimise our ability to update clients (because of
   "first week" bug and weekend effects)
- 18th is aggressive but it might just happen

*Firefox 1.1/Thunderbird 1.1*

- Not much to talk about; focus on 1.8b and 1.0.1

*Contributor Awards*

- On the back burner for this week

*IDN/punycode domain spoofing*

- Make sure the pref works so people can turn it off (done)
- Default the pref to off for 1.0.1 and 1.8b; provide XPI or
   instructions to turn it on
- Make it clear it's a registrar/registry issue, but we are protecting
   our users in the short term
- What to do long term is a drivers issue
- Need to have a discussion with Verisign, and find their plan for their
   plugin

*PSM*

- kaie is part time, but he doesn't want full responsibility
- request for recruitment of PSM helpers (Seamonkey/Thunderbird security
   UI)
- collaborative, iterative, open development (not closed for 6 months
   and turn up with a 'finished' product)

- ben and mscott are watching the certificate value discussion in
   n.p.m.security.

*Emphasising Security*

- MF will be hiring a security guy/more security resources
- rafael working with PR firm about messaging: security features
   prominently
- dveditz was employed a year ago to focus on security
