W3C charters XML Security Working Group

[Frederick Hirsch <frederick.hirsch@nokia.com>]

OASIS members,

The W3C has chartered a new XML Security Working Group, which may be  
of interest to members of  OASIS working in the areas of security,  
digital signatures, encryption and related topics:

   http://www.w3.org/2008/xmlsec
   http://www.w3.org/2008/02/xmlsec-charter

The Group is tasked to take next steps with the XML Signature and XML  
Encryption family of specifications, as discussed at a public  
workshop last September:

   http://www.w3.org/2007/xmlsec/ws/

The charter specifically notes that there is much related and  
relevant work at OASIS.

If you're interested in this work and work for a W3C member  
organization, please contact your Advisory Committee Representative  
regarding participation (instructions are at http://www.w3.org/ 
2004/01/pp-impl/42458/instructions )

If you're interested, but don't work for a W3C member organization,  
please contact Thomas Roessler at the W3C and myself.

Please note that the Working Group will be having a F2F in Barcelona  
16-17 July 2008, so if interested in participating you will need to  
make arrangements for that F2F fairly soon upon joining the Working  
Group.

Thanks

regards, Frederick
