Subject: RE: [security-services] EDITORIAL: notes from ed team meetings Feb 3-4
Eve - With respect to the items assigned to me: Metadata specification [Jahan]: I will wait for the next item to be accepted before developing the spec. Scott has already done a great job developing the schema. Metadata schema [Scott, Jahan]: Scott has a proposed draft for this. Metadata Discovery specification [Jahan]: this will be rolled into Metadat specification. Thanks, Jahan ------ Jahan Moreh Chief Security Architect 310.288.2141 -----Original Message----- From: Eve L.

A lot of solution proposals were approved last week; are you getting them into your drafts? Remember that we have a quorate TC call next Tuesday; if you can get your drafts out 24hr before, that will enable people to read them before discussing and deciding on any issues. (I'm mindful that Monday is a U.S. holiday and many folks may have vacation that day...) Below is the status, as I know it, on the editorial AIs we collected last week. Eve L.

Done, but is now moot.

I was playing around with an image map for this; hope to have something for our own reference today. However, I have already added a mostly complete spec list to the SAML home page with links, and it looks like this (annotated with editor assignments): http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=security * Scope and Work Items document for V2.0 [Eve] * Issues list [Eve] * Assertions and Protocols specification [Eve, Scott] * Assertion schema [Eve, Scott] * Protocol schema [Eve, Scott] * Bindings and Profiles specification [Frederick] * Conformance specification [Prateek] * Metadata specification [Jahan] * Metadata schema [Scott, Jahan] * Metadata Discovery specification [Jahan] * Security and Privacy Considerations specification [Frederick] * Glossary specification [Rob] * Authentication Context specification [John K.] * Baseline Identities and Attributes specification [John H.] Missing from the home page are: Implementation Guidelines [Charles] Migration from SAML V1.x and Liberty ID-FF V1.2 [Scott] ...as well as some of the non-document-like outreach materials. > Normative documents: > Core: Eve and Scott: GREEN > Bindings: Frederick: GREEN > > AI: Frederick: Incorporate the new decision on enhanced > client profiles.
