Before I embark on a whirlwind itinerary next week (five days of customer meetings in four cities), I wanted to put up a brief post about some changes in the Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS).

In case you aren’t aware, the CCS has instituted a policy for the acceptance of new evaluations. You can read the policy here.

Remember the fallout from the NIAP announcement? There hasn’t been similar punditry for this situation. Why is that?

Update: I must have had beer on the brain when writing this, as indicated by the striken text

I do apologize for the draught drought in posts recently. We have just been swamped! I’m just back from over a week of travel. You would think (well, at least I think) going through four hotel rooms, three rental cars, and getting stuck in airports because of the snow would leave me ample time to craft witty, insightful posts. Unfortunately though, that has not been the case. Customers come before blogging.

Stay tuned, be patient, and check back… there is so much going on, and eventually I’ll have the time to put down some thoughts!
