Subject: Draft minutes for 7 Nov 2006 SSTC meeting
NEXT MEETING: We will skip the November 21 meeting because it's during the week of U.S. Thanksgiving; the next meeting will be December 5. [Eve note added afterwards: This is during IIWb: http://www.windley.com/events/iiw2006b/announcement.] > 1. Roll Call & Agenda Review, Eve volunteered to be Secretary Attendance list to be supplied. > 2. Approve minutes from October 24 con-call > http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200611/msg00000.htm > l APPROVED with unanimous consent. - New agenda item: ITU-T update from Abbie Barbir X.1141 has been approved as an ITU-T Recommendation, and it is now in the (believe it or not) "beautification" phase. Abbie commends ITU-T on the great job they did. They did tasks like ensuring the schemas are error-free, and compared the text with the original SAML text; the process was extensive. The current phase involves another three-plus editorial (not approval) reviews. Abbie will continue to work with them. We can therefore close AI #0240: "Status of SAML 2.0 submission to ITU T". > 3. Status > > a. IPR Transition Ballot > http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200610/msg00051.htm > l > > b. 15 day review > > c. 60 day review Hal reports that the request has gone to OASIS, but the ballot won't be issued for a while yet. - New agenda item: Technical Overview Eve reports that rev 12 is not yet complete, but it's on its way. We're preparing to do a DocBook conversion that will allow us to publish single-file HTML, bursted HTML, and PDF. Eve will talk to Norm about feasability issues of uploading multiple files for a single document, having all the links work, etc. Tom Scavo had raised the issue on the SSTC list of breaking out the "comparison" appendices as separate documents. With the new publishing paradigm they'd be available separately (as well as together) anyway, but the consensus was to permanently separate them out regardless. > 4. Discussion of future plans > > a. Progressing current profiles to Standard - successful use criteria Hal: Short review is currently taking place on some docs, and long 60-day review is taking place on others. We plan to approve them eventually as a bundle called something like "post-V2.0 profiles". OASIS's criteria for successful use are quite loose. For SAML V1.0, we asked for successful use attestations roughly at the level of operational modes (though they didn't exist yet). For SAML V2.0, we treated the specs as one big lump. What granularity should we apply for the new specs? Attestations have to be OASIS organization members. Scott: Keep in mind that he has already agreed to make changes to at least two of the docs in review (they're at CD-02) based on comments made by Tom Scavo. He'd like to get the specs finished ASAP, but the OASIS review process is progressing slowly. Eve: Comments from people are likely a good sign that they'd be willing to attest to successful use eventually. Greg: The question is academic. An attestation has to be somewhat specific. SAML V2.0 involved most of the specs, no matter what profile(s) you were interested in implementing. Eve: The post-V2.0 bundling is only for convenience; the attestation granularity should be per-spec. If there are related ones, they could be bundled for attestation purposes. Scott: I have proposed groupings that could be used for this purpose. Hal: The AIs mention two bits of outstanding work needed on post-V2.0 specs. Are we missing any? Paul: There's been a telco deployment profile mentioned, but it's early days. Hal: Also the GUIDE work could possibly bring up some more profiling. Scott: The X.500 stuff might drive additional profiling work, driven by the U.S. federal government. But this is speculation. > b. Other work, in progress or projected > > 5.
