Hi Sanjay, sorry for the slow 
response time. Chris has been travelling and I have ongoing medical issues and 
also we have not had a TC call for a few weeks.  We will add this item to 
the agenda for our TC call next week (Wednesday) and try to get back to you 
after that with an answer. I hope this will work for you. Again sorry for the 
slowness of my response. 

Cheers
Kelvin

Hi Kevin, Chris,

Any chance that my question below would get answered in the coming week! Please note that the WS-RX TC's schedule (and even decision about when to convene the next meeting) depends upon what we hear from you.

[Copying the SX-TC on this thread since I forgot to do that before].

Thanks,
Sanjay Patil
OASIS WS-RX TC Co-Chair

Dear Chairs of the OASIS WS-SX TC,

On behalf of the OASIS WS-RX TC, I wanted to bring to your attention and get your advise regarding an open issue for the WS-RX TC [1] that is dependent upon the WS-SX TC's plans.

Here is the gist of the issue as I understand:
Some of the WS-RM specifications (produced by the WS-RX TC) have references to the WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-SecureConversation and WS-Trust specifications. We think that these references should be updated to point to the final versions of the WS-SX TC's specifications that reference WS-Policy 1.5 specifications. In this regard, we would like to understand your plans and tentative timeline for progressing the WS-SX TC's specifications.

If waiting until the WS-SX TC's specifications (with references to WS-Policy 1.5) reach a final (OASIS Standard) status is going to introduce excessive delays for the WS-RX TC, then the WS-RX TC may decide to reference the WS-SX TC's Committee Drafts/Specifications (with references to WS-Policy 1.5). It is therefore important for the WS-RX TC to understand your specification progression plans/timeline as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Sanjay Patil
OASIS WS-RX TC Co-Chair
