To OASIS members, Public Announce Lists:

The OASIS Web Services Federation (WSFED) TC has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:

Web Services Federation Language (WS-Federation) Version 1.2

The public review starts today, 13 January 2009, and ends 12 February 2009. This specification was previously submitted for a 60-day public review on 16 July 2008[1]; this 30-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. All changes are highlighted/indicated in the accompanying change log/noted in the change log contained in the appendix.

This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work.
