Subject: RE: e-gov Member Section; e-mail problems
Dear Colin Thank you for your kind comment, if the egov MS is not allowed to ballot a profile to standard then can the egov MS set up a TC to do so? I am asking for the help of the egov MS because OASIS announced that the MS would promote interoperability frameworks. The VA's goal is to ballot a Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization profile so that the ANSI Health Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) can cite it in support of the American Health Information Community (AHIC) use cases as mandated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This would serve as the basis of a mandated interoperability framework for government healthcare and provides OASIS with the chance to play a prominent role in government healthcare interoperability frameworks. Concurrently, the XACML TC has accepted the challenge to address Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization by agreeing to develop an InterOp between at least seven vendors that will be shown at the 2008 RSA Security Conference April 7-11 in San Francisco. Some of the guidance you mentioned in the authorization sphere will come from the consensus reached in preparation for the RSA InterOp. In addition, I have been reaching out to privacy advocates through Health Level Seven (HL7) to address the medical privacy sphere. Indeed, the general outline of the profile has been suggested by HITSP when the gap in standards was uncovered. So we can expect guidance from several organizations and some members may join the TC to help push the profile through the standards track. As far as resources, the VA will commit people to write and test the profile developed by the proposed TC. I just pushed through a standard (ANSI E-2596 standard on Privilege Management Infrastructure) and have three documents being balloted this session in HL7, so I have experience in developing standards. We also have a Security Integration laboratory that is available to take on the development and test of the profile. I had originally asked IHE to address this standards gap last October but they only take 7 profiles a year and their plate was full. This is a great opportunity for OASIS to step in if they want the challenge. I will recruit additional TC members and raise awareness of the effort at HL7, ANSI, HITSP as well as the OASIS TCs that I serve on (XACML, SAML, and WS-Federation). Unfortunately, the HITSP effort needs this profile to complete its work properly. So waiting to 2009 to start up a TC would be infeasible. Anyway, perhaps the steps I have outlined above meet the constraints in the later part of your comment. I look forward to reading your future comments and hopefully exploring with the egov MS a way forward to developing this important profile in government healthcare interoperability. I appreciate your thoughts on the subject and look forward to working with you in the future.

We (eGov) have just come from there and know the trials and tribulations. David, if I were you I'd 'walk before you run'. Develop guidance, get it accepted as best practice and once you are confident you have a whole heap of motivated people to push this through standards track, open up a TC, maybe early 2009.

This is an interesting proposition. We will need to have feedback, especially from the Steering Committee. But there seems no doubt that health is a very significant item of public sector expenditure and a major focus of ICT applications within the general context of eGovernment. There could be a case for proposing an OASIS Technical Committee to develop these standards, but affiliated to the Member Section. and working in an integrated way. Thank you for putting this on the table for discussion.
