OASIS Call For Vote: SAML, XCBF, WSRP

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

OASIS Voting Representatives:

[We're back on line and ready to go with this; thanks for your patience.]


This is a Call For Vote to approve the following Committee 
Specifications as OASIS Standards:

* Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Committee Specification v1.1
(see the review materials at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200308/msg00001.html)

* XML Common Biometric Format (XCBF) Committee Specification v1.1 (see
the review materials at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200308/msg00002.html)

* Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) Committee Specification v1.0
(see the review materials at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200308/msg00003.html)

Each of these Committee Specifications have had their required 30 day 
public reviews, and the review materials were sent out to the membership 
of OASIS on 28 July 2003 for the required 15-day familiarization period. 
As the required review and familiarization periods have now been 
completed it is time to vote.

As each OASIS member organization has only one vote, employees of your 
organization should have sent their input to you, their voting 
representative, so that you can decide on how to vote for your organization.

The voting representative from each OASIS member organization should 
submit the organization's vote by midnight ET 31 August 2003.

Voting will be conducted using the OASIS collaborative tools. To cast 
your ballots, go to the voting group page at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ and select the link 
for Open Ballots. Note that there are three ballots, one for each 
specification.

You may change your ballots up until the time that balloting closes. 
Ballots will be publicly archived.

You will need to login to the collaborative tools in order to cast your 
ballots; if you have not yet obtained your username and password please 
contact Scott McGrath (scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) for help.
