[legalxml-enotary] Cross postings

Two postings were made by me to the DSS TC which I think may become useful in this group. I apologize to those members who belong to both TC's for the repetition.

A. Attached are extract pages, including diagrams, relative to requirements for a use case of an eNotarization service from the Arizona Secretary of State's Office. I have made inquiry and am informed and believe that no IPR is claimed in the extract (which is part of a much larger document that may not be directly relevant in its full form to our purposes). The document was co-authored by Michael Tetherow and Russ Savage of that office. Russ Savage emphasized in an email to me for the benefit of this group that:

"1. the process established allows for technology change - 
there is an 'electronic notary seal/signature/datestamp' but what that is will evolve as necessary
2. this is within the framework of state regulated notary services."

B. The Arizona Court of Appeals Division Two uses a web server signature service as part of its in-house application called e-filer. The production version is html-based. An XML version is planned based upon the LegalXML CourtFiling 1.1 and CourtDocument 1.1 recommended standards (of judicial-related bodies). In a paper, Mohyeddin Abdulaziz, Director of Information Technology at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers Law School and the Arizona Court of Appeals explains the operation of e-filer, including authentication methods of filers, filing procedures with screen shots, and signature technology. See https://www.apltwo.ct.state.az.us/e-filer/abatechshow2002.pdf.

After emails and a telephonic conversation with Mr. Abdulaziz, I am informed and believed there is no copyright or other IPR claimed in this document either by him or any other individual or any institution or entity.
