We should be clear to answer Oliver's question.

 

The process you reference is different from an open standardization process. For example, feedback from comment session need not be incorporated, and parties participating in these sessions don't have standing similar to voting members of an OASIS TC - they cannot drive the results of the process.

 

Intention to approve at a standards body is different from developing an open standard in an open forum. This is not to argue that there are tradeoffs and some combination might have value, but we should be clear in answering Oliver's question.

 

Nobody has yet answered Olivers question regarding WS-Policy.

 

regards, Frederick

At the completion of the process documented, its the intention of all the authors that the given specification(s) be taken to the appropriate standards body (lots of factors here that authors voice as part of the feedback sessions). Is there something specific you are hunting for here ?

Can you be a bit more specific, there's no mention of standards bodies
on that page at all and I couldn't find anything by following any of
the links on that page either.

Thanks,
Marc.
