[security-jc] joint OASIS/W3C forum on security for web services

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

OASIS and W3C will be cosponsoring a joint "Forum on Security
Standards for Web Services", to be held 26 August at the web services
conference in Boston http://www.xmlconference.com/boston/glance.asp

Krishna has started work on a conference program, and the folks at W3C
are also preparing their version of a program. We need a program
committee to combine these two versions into a single conference
program, then help recruit speakers.

The idea of the forum is to present a rough architecture of where we
are with security for web services, look at the individual pieces and
how they fit together, then identify holes in the picture which could
possibly result in new work for either OASIS or W3C.

We need to select 4-5 people to represent OASIS on a program committee
ASAP. We need to move fairly quickly; the conference is in less than
seven weeks. It would probably be best for the TAB to select the
program committee (this is, after all, officially a TAB activity), and
the next TAB meeting is this Friday. Then we can have the first
committee meeting next week, with the goal of having a completed
program the week after.

W3C will also have representatives on the program committee; the
following have been suggested and will likely be involved: Hugo Haas,
Joe Regal, Michael Sperberg-McQueen, Danny Weitzner, and Janet Daly.

Please send me nominations/volunteers by EOD Thursday, and I'll give
the names to the TAB to select from on Friday.

many thanks.
