New OASIS Discussion List: Operational Aspects of Privacy Management (privacymgmt-discuss)

["Dee Schur" <dee.schur@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS members have requested that we open a new discussion list, regarding a
possible new OASIS Privacy Management Reference Model (PMRM) TC. The
proposal conforms to our rules and is set forth below. Standards always are
improved by broad participation. OASIS encourages open discussions about
possible new TCs, by offering a dedicated e-mail list for 90 days, upon
member request. The address of this list will be:

privacymgmt-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org

Anyone, including OASIS members and non-members, may subscribe to this list
in order to discuss the merits and possibility of the proposed project.  The
list is now open, and can be joined by sending a message to:

privacymgmt-discuss-subscribe@lists.oasis-open.org. [1]

The discussion list is governed by Section 2.1 of the OASIS TC Process [2],
and may last up to 90 days.  Typically, participants in the list will
determine whether there is sufficient interest to form an OASIS TC, and then
collaborate on a draft TC charter for submission. Only subscribers to the
list will have the ability to post to it. If you do not wish to subscribe,
but would like to monitor the discussion, archives of the list will be
visible at [3].

Please feel free to forward this announcement to any other appropriate
lists. OASIS is an open standards organization, and welcomes your feedback.
We look forward to assisting parties interested in joining the community of
implementers, technologists, academics and end-users contributing to open
standardization for e-business and information exchange.

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.

DISCUSSION LIST PROPOSAL

(1)    The name of the discussion list, which shall not be the same as the
name of the list in which the TC itself shall operate if formed.
          Operational Aspects of Privacy Management
 
(2)    A preliminary statement of scope for the TC whose formation the list
is intended to discuss.
          The TC will develop a Privacy Management Reference Model, which is
intended to serve as a template for developing operational solutions to
privacy issues, as an analytical tool for assessing the completeness of
proposed solutions, and as the basis for establishing categories and
groupings of privacy management controls. The Reference Model will not be a
"specification" in the formal sense, but is intended to be used as the basis
for an implementation standard, which would be developed independently.
Comprehensive Use Cases will be solicited and developed in several areas to
test the completeness and robustness of the Reference Model.   
 
(3)    The names, electronic mail addresses, and OASIS Organizational or
Individual Membership affiliations of the three or more Eligible Persons
proposing to create the discussion list.
 
          Michael Willett, mwillett@nc.rr.com - Individual and ISTPA rep
          John Sabo,  john.t.sabo@ca.com - CA
          Michele Drgon, micheledrgon@dataprobity.com - Individual
 
 
(4)    The name of the discussion list leader.
                          Michael Willett
