Subject: Proposed Submission of XSPA Profiles for SAML & XACML to ITU (cross-post)


To OASIS members, member announce lists:

OASIS has been asked, by the TC noted below, to submit
the following OASIS Standards to the International
Telecommunications Union, Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (ITU-T), Study Group 17 on Security:

XSPA Profile of SAML for Healthcare Version v1.0 [n1]
XSPA Profile of XACML v2.0 for Healthcare Version v1.0 [n2]

The OASIS Liaison Policy sets requirements for submissions
of OASIS specifications to external standards organizations.
[n3]  In the case of a work produced by an active Technical
Committee, OASIS rules require that the TC approve the
request, which it has.  The submission proposal is attached
below.  It includes more detailed information on the proposed
submission and its terms.

OASIS has determined that the proposed request meets the policy's
initial requirements.  Our rules provide that any such request
be posted to OASIS members for comment.   The member review
starts today, 4 March 2010, and ends 3 April 2010.  This is an
open invitation to members to comment. Under our Liaison Policy,
OASIS will make a final determination to confirm the submission
at the close of the review period.

More information about the specifications, and the XSPA TC who
originated them, may be found at the public home page of the
TC. [n4]  Additional non-normative information about the
proposed submission also may be posted to the
[oasis-member-discuss] list, during the review period.

This is a cross-posted copy of the original notice, found here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/oasis-member-discuss/email/archives/201003/msg00001.html
 Comments on
this proposed submission should be sent to that list:
oasis-member-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org.  It is publicly
archived [n5], and any OASIS member may subscribe. [n6]

The submission request is appended below.

Respectfully,  JBC

Proposed Submission Request terms
[The six questions are quoted from the OASIS Liaison Policy]

Specifications to be submitted:
XSPA Profile of SAML for Healthcare Version v1.0
See http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/index.php#xspa-saml
XSPA Profile of XACML v2.0 for Healthcare Version v1.0
See http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/index.php#xspa-xacml

Q1.  The name(s) of the submission requester(s), that is,
the TC, the Member Section, or the OASIS Organizational
Members that support the submission request as described
in section 1(d).

A1: Requested by the OASIS Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy
Authorization (XSPA) TC.

Q2. The name of the intended receiving standards organization.
The request may also suggest the committee or group in that
organization which should process that submission.

A2: ITU-T Study Group 17 on Security.

Q3. The intended status or outcome that the request seeks from
the receiving organization's process; and a short description
of the receiving organization's approval process, including
estimated time required, stages of approval and who votes at
each stage.

A3:  Final approval as ITU Recommendations without change.
Preservation of the content without alteration, except for
non-technical, front-page-type matter.  It is anticipated
that the submission will be transmitted to ITU-T SG17, and
submitted for study group consent vote at their regular
plenary in April 2010, followed by an ITU member review &
confirmation process that may conclude in late May.  The
standards to be submitted are profiles that relate to, but
we expect them to be numbered separately from, SAML v2
(already submitted and approved as ITU-T X.1141) and XACML
v2 (already submitted and approved as ITU-T Rec. X.1142).

Q4. An explanation of how the submission will benefit OASIS.

A4:  Increased visibility and implementation of the
established standards, due to the positive sanction associated
with the ITU process.

Q5. The expected licensing, copyright and other intellectual
property terms that will be used by the receiving organization
in regard to the submission.

A5:  Use of the OASIS standards is, and will continue to be,
permitted under the terms of the OASIS IPR Policy. As before,
our submission would call to the attention of ITU (and potential
users of its works) the existence of the disclosures and license
statements made pursuant to the OASIS process.  See
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xspa/ipr.php.  OASIS would
plan to contact any parties that make disclosures there, to
advise them of the submission and the possibility of further
inquiry about availability from ITU-T.

Q6. A statement of the intended future plans for versioning
and maintenance of the OASIS Standard and/or Approved Errata
for that standard, and the expected roles of OASIS and the
receiving organization.  This must include clear statements of
the rules of the receiving organization applicable to maintenance
of an approved submitted standard, and to future versions of
that standard; any requirements regarding the submission of
future versions; and a description of how OASIS and the
submission requesters expect to comply with those rules.

A6:  If the original submission is successfully approved, OASIS
would enter into the usual commitments to share with ITU any
material errata data, and submit back to ITU for
re-transposition any future approved OASIS Standard versions
or Approved Errata. As with prior ITU submissions, a condition
of this OASIS submission would be the requirement that any
changes to the established Specification be submitted through
the OASIS TC process, in order to preserve the continuity of
the work for the established base of implementers who rely
on it. In this case, any such changes would be submitted to the
OASIS XSPA TC, and the approval of that TC's work product through
the usual OASIS process.
