Subject: RE: Issue "states"? (was: [security-services] Updated Issues List )
Jeff, I noticed that the Issue:[UC-2-05] pertaining to B2B authentication is currently has Status: "Voted, No conclusion". This issue/requirement was a close one: I believe with 7 voting for inclusion, and 4 for not including. Since this issue implied a SAML object model requirement for support of an extensible application level Credential, which we decided not to support in SAML 1.0, I propose that we classify this issue:2-05 as deferred. Furthermore, in retrospect, I would have liked to have characterized this issue as an A2A (application to application) authenticted message exchange issue since that is one of the intents of the use case description included in the issue 2-05. I rather not close the issue and see the implied requirements get lost in the future. Please clarify if my understanding of the status is correct. thanks, Zahid -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Hodges [mailto:jhodges@oblix.com] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 3:22 PM To: security-services@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Issue "states"? (was: [security-services] Updated Issues List) Presently the issues-07 doc employs two states for issues: open or closed. We've danced around the topic of issue "states" on concalls, and a notion of "deferred" has been at least mentioned. So, folding "deferred" in with "open" and "closed", what do folks, especially Hal, think of these issue state semantics.. open: the issue's been at least raised. the one raising it is nominal champion unless the mantle is passed (e.g. by someone volunteering and/or the chairs tugging sleeves). closed: as Hal puts it "we're never going to talk about it anymore". deferred: we're not going to address this issue in the present in-process SAML specification version, but we want to keep the issue around for consideration in future versions. The champion is preserved, and can be changed in the same manner as open issues. ? So, for example, there's likely at least a few issues in issues-07 that we ought to "defer" rather than simply "close". And we want to move open issues to either "closed" or "deferred" because we need to not have any open issues in order to enter Last Call. thanks, JeffH ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
