Subject: [security-services] stepping down as co-chairs
Folks, Given that SAML 1.0 has been approved, and that we both have other duties calling, JeffH & Joe are going to step down as co-chairs of the Security Services Technical Committee (SSTC). We want to assure everyone that we, and our respective companies (HP and Sun), remain committed to SAML; JeffH will continue as an SSTC voting member. However, at the next whole-TC telecon (next week on 12-Nov), we will have to work with the TC to determine the timeframe and methodology for electing new co-chairs. The OASIS/Robert's-Rules process requires us to vote on a "nomination method" (e.g., "nominations can come from the floor just like motions," which would be the simplest) before actually collecting nominations and holding the election. We can take care of many (all?) of these tasks on 12-Nov. So please consider whether you're willing to stand for nomination and/or whom you are inclined to nominate (and have serve as co-chair). Knowing that chair duties can take a lot of resources :-), we feel that continuing the co-chair arrangement would be helpful to ensure adequate coverage. We will work closely with whoever takes over the role to make the transition go smoothly. It has been a real honor to serve the TC in this capacity, and we want to thank you all for putting so much of your expertise and hard work into the TC, supporting us, and getting SAML v1.0 to OASIS Standard maturity level. We will look forward to working with you all in "civilian" roles in both this TC and others in the future. Best regards, Joe & JeffH
