[security-jc] TAB concerns about Security JC charter

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

Security JC:

At the OASIS TAB meeting today we discussed, among other things, the 
Security JC scope and charter. It was pointed out that the OASIS TC 
Process makes no provision for a JC having a charter beyond simply 
coordinating the activities of the TCs, and additionally that the 
Process says that a JC will have no deliverables.

So while the TAB thinks that the JC has identified some valuable topics 
to pursue (security common glossary, architecture model, etc.) and that 
this work is important and needs to be done, the TAB feels that the JC 
is the wrong place to be doing this work.

The TAB suggests that interested members of the JC form a TC to do this 
work and that the JC restrict itself to providing a forum for the 
various TCs to communicate and coordinate their activities with each other.

Krishna and I would be happy to further explain the TAB's feelings on 
this at the next JC meeting.
