Subject: WSS specification submitted for OASIS Standard
OASIS members: The OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) TC has submitted the SAML Token Profile and REL Token Profile, two approved Committee Drafts, to be considered together as a single OASIS Standard titled "Additional Token Profiles for the WS-Security 2004 OASIS Standard". This is intended as a new OASIS Standard to be used alongside the previously approved WSS 2004 OASIS Standard. The TC's submission is attached below. In accordance with the OASIS Technical Committee Process, the specification has already gone through a 30 day public review period. OASIS members now have until the 15th of next month to familiarize themselves with the submission. OASIS members should give their input on this question to the voting representative of their organization. By the 16th of the month I will send out a Call For Vote to the voting representatives of the OASIS member organizations, who will have until the end of the month to cast their ballots on whether this Committee Draft should be approved as an OASIS Standard. The normative TC Process for approval of Committee Drafts as OASIS Standards is found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard Any statements related to the IPR of this specification are posted at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/ipr.php -Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
