RE: Submission to RSA Conference?

[Krishna Sankar <ksankar@cisco.com>]

Prateek,

	As I had mentioned earlier, I also have a dev track proposal. Mine and
Jason's need to be reconciled, if they select both. May be they will accept
only one, who knows. I was going to concentrate on web services and possibly
exchanging context as session assertions.

cheers

  |
  |Folks,
  |
  |In conversation with Carlisle Adams, we came up with the following
  |suggestions:
  |
  |(1) Standards Track Presentation (not a panel)
  |Intro to SAML standard effort, use-cases, architecture, standards status.
  |
  |(2) Developers Track Presentation (not a panel)
  |How developers can use SAML in their programs, develop security services,
  |available SAML APIs.
  |
  |(3) XML Security standards presentation/panel
  |(proposed by Philip H-B. so lets ask him to drive this one).
  |
  |One reason to avoid a panel is that frankly it will take 30-40 minutes
  |of a good presentation to get the main points across. The main idea of
  |a panel is to expose different viewpoints, that does not seem helpful
  |for (1) and (2).
  |
  |Following Jeremy's suggestion, the main coordination point is not to
  |have too many presentations on the same topic. Therefore, I am requesting
  |folks to coordinate by NOT sending in many submissions on these topics.
  |
  |It appears that submissions on (1) and (2) have already been made to RSA?
  |IF not, we should make sure that there are some submissions in
  |by July 15.
  |
  |Jahan: I believe you have made a submission on the standards
  |track for SAML.
  |Could you please confirm that?
  |
  |Krishna, Jason: Have you guys submitted on the dev track?
  |
  |In that case, I would propose we make no further submissions on
  |these topics
  |(this has nothing to do with various corporate submissions you may be
  |making).
  |
  |I would also request the submitters for (1) and (2) to review
  |their slides
  |(several people would be happy to help with the contents)
  |with the group AND highlight all of the companies participating in SAML
  |at OASIS.
  |
