Subject: Congratulations on the Additional WSS Profiles as OASIS Standard
OASIS WSS TC Members, Congratulations on the approval of the REL and SAML Token Profiles for WSS as OASIS Standards. On behalf of the OASIS Board and staff, I applaud you all for your hard work and thank you for contributing to the success of global open standards. Now that Web Services Security and these profiles have been ratified by the OASIS membership at-large, advancing adoption of your work becomes a high priority. I encourage you to take advantage of all OASIS has to offer to assist you in this goal: the wss-dev list, OASIS InterOp demonstrations, conference presentations, OASIS Open Standards Days, implementations listings in the OASIS Standards registry, publicity through OASIS News, XML.org, Cover Pages, and other media, educational outreach, translations of WSS and its profiles into other languages, etc. There is also a range of new adoption services under development. OASIS staff will be happy to join a future TC call at your convenience to discuss all the options available to you at this important juncture. You may also want to consider creating a sub-committee or a new TC with a specific charter to advance the adoption of Web Services Security. By enlisting the active support of marketing experts or WSS implementation specialists within software companies along with interested parties from end-user organizations, an OASIS WSS Adoption Sub-Committee could work to create best-practice implementation guidelines and other promotional activities. With input from participants from specific industries, including the government sector, this work could also include the creation of functional profiles detailing WSS OASIS Standard use in specific industry scenarios. Please work directly with your OASIS staff contact, Mary McRae, to discuss the various options for future activities or contact me directly if there's any way I can be of assistance. We're also interested in your suggestions for other organizations that would benefit from joining OASIS to participate in WSS adoption activities or advancing WSS development. Again, please accept my congratulations on a monumental job well done. I look forward to recognizing your accomplishments in person at the OASIS Annual General Members meeting in New Orleans in April. Best regards, Patrick Gannon President & CEO OASIS 630 Boston Road Billerica, MA 01821 +1.978.667.5115 x201 - office +1.978.761.3546 - mobile www.oasis-open.org
