Subject: RE: [provision] SPML FAQ
Here is my stab it this: What is the need for this specification? One of the biggest challenges in provisioning is adapting to a disparate set of protocol and methodologies. This poses a great challenge to both provisioning vendors and implementers of custom provisioning systems. The industry would benefit if some level of standardization could be brought to bear on this problem. Who should be involved in this development? Any vendor that develops provisioning systems or intends to integrate with provisioning systems. Also any organization developing custom built provisioning solutions. Any organization involved in identity management should also participate. Who will benefit from this work and how? Both provisioning vendors and their customers will benefit from increased standardization. The will result in lower costs, quicker implementations, and a wider range of supported systems. How does this work compare with related efforts at other standards organizations? When will this specification be completed? The SPML 1.0 specification is built on the OASIS DSMLv2 specification, allthough it is focused on provisioning. Additionally there is a relationship, although not an overlap, between SPML 1.0 and federated identity standards, such as Project Liberty. The SPML 1.0 specification has been approved as a committee specification of the PS TC and will soon be submitted to OASIS at large.

Here are the proposed Q's, does someone want to take the lead on drafting some A's? What is the need for this specification? Who should be involved in this development? Who will benefit from this work and how? How does this work compare with related efforts at other standards organizations?
