Subject: RE: Liberty ID-FF 1.2 Contribution to SSTC
To: OASIS Security Services Technical Committee From: Jason Rouault, HP Jeff Hodges, Sun Rob Philpott, RSA Security Frederick Hirsch, Nokia As members of the OASIS SSTC, we would like to submit the Liberty Alliance Trust Models Guidelines Specification ("TMGS", further identified below in [1]) for consideration in preparing future versions of SAML. This document provides non-normative guidance for implementors and deployers on establishing trust, and is a "supporting document" for ID-FF 1.2. The Liberty Alliance Board, which is the steward for Liberty Alliance Final Specifications, has approved a motion to enable further development of the Liberty Trust Models Guidelines Specification under the auspices of the SSTC. We believe it is in the best interests of the industry to converge this document, and otherwise resolve any issues, with future SAML versions. Copyright in the Liberty Trust Models Guidelines is held jointly by the Liberty Alliance member companies identified in the document copyright statements. Based on the Liberty Alliance Agreements and the board approval, at least one of our companies hereby grants OASIS the copyright license needed to prepare derivative works, among other activities, as required by the OASIS IPR Policy, section 3.1(1). We believe that all of the necessary conditions for a proper Contribution as shown in the IPR Policy section 3.1 are met. While the "Notice" portion of the Trust Models Guidelines Specification indicates that no rights are granted to prepare derivative works, this letter acts as the necessary license for OASIS to prepare derivative works. Our Liberty Alliance Membership Agreements also provide for Liberty Alliance members to grant patent licenses to all parties under at least fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms, if such licenses are required to implement the final Liberty Alliance specifications. Further information on specific disclosures which may have been made by Liberty Alliance members is located on the Liberty Alliance web site [2]. Please let us know if there are any concerns or questions about this submission. Thank you.
