Subject: [provision] Charter...
I the last meeting I proposed that we vote on the charter in the meeting on jan 7th. From the discussions so far I see no reason the charter last propsed by Darran can not meet our needs. I would like to have this added to the agenda for the meeting. If we can not reach quorum on the 7th, then we should schedule an e-mail vote on this following the meeting. The last draft I saw of this was: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The purpose of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) is to define an XML-based framework for exchanging user, resource and service provisioning information. This framework is commonly referred to as the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML). The Technical Committee will develop an end-to-end, open specification addressing the required semantics to exchange requests between cooperating provisioning services. A provisioning service is defined as any infrastructure component capable of consuming well formed SPML request. The finished specification is expected to include (but is not limited to) core XML schemas for the following: * Query and exchange of available resources to provision to * Query and exchange of available resource attributes * Query and exchange of available resource identities * Query and exchange of resource hierarchies * Request and response for specific provisioning requests The following are also initial assumptions relating to the scope and nature of the SPML framework: * SPML assumes a pre-existing trust model between the SPML requestor and the SPML compliant service * Encryption and message integrity should be available at the session level (via SSL/TSL) and at the individual element level though XML-Encryption and XML- Signatures The SPML specification will be developed with consideration of the following existing specifications (which are of public knowledge, accessible, and freely distributed). * Active Digital Profile (ADPr) * eXtensible Resource Provisioning Management (XRPM) * Information Technology Markup Language (ITML) The PSTC will produce a set of one or more Committee Specifications that will cover the following (all of which are to be examined with respect to security considerations): * Use cases and requirements * Information model * Protocol(s) * Bindings * Conformance The goal of the committee (subject to revision) is to submit a Specification to the OASIS membership for its approval by September of 2002. -------------------------------------------------------- -- Jeff Bohren Product Architect OpenNetwork Techologies jbohren@opennetwork.com (727) 561-9500x219
