approval of WSS as an OASIS Standard

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS members:

I had previously announced that the Web Services Security v1.0 
(WS-Security 2004) Committee Draft from the OASIS Web Services Security 
TC had received sufficient affirmative votes to be approved as an OASIS 
Standard, but because there was a negative vote the TC needed to decide 
how to proceed. The co-chairs of the WSS TC have now informed me that 
the TC has decided to request the specification be approved despite the 
negative vote.

I am pleased, therefore, to announce that Web Services Security v1.0 
(WS-Security 2004) has been approved as an OASIS Standard.

Please see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200404/msg00056.html 
for the notice from the co-chairs of the TC's action.
