Subject: Synchronizing references a Synchronizing references across theWS-RX/SX/TX specscross the WS-RX/SX/TX specs
It is encouraging to see several members recognize the need to coordinate the activities of at least some of the WS-* technical committee (TCs) or work groups (WGs), especially with respect to their normative references and across organizations.[1] The proposed actions are highly desirable, yet provide only first steps to encourage meaningful results for this complex set of WS-* specifications. The proposal presented below warrants further discussion, both within individual OASIS TCs and across those TCs as well as with other organizations. OASIS has a mechanism for coordinated discussions such as Joint Committee (within OASIS) and a liaison policy (for external coordination outside OASIS) [See a and b]. Sun recommends that such avenues be established to provide a public forum for such discussion and that all relevant WS-* TCs and WGs appoint representatives. We believe these are appropriates mechanisms to begin to resolve coordination concerns in an open deliberative body such as OASIS and in collaboration with other organizations.

As these specifications are being completed at different times and in different committees some of their normative references are not synchronized. Some of these specifications reference the W3C submission of WS-Policy 1.2. Some of these specifications reference both the WS-Policy 1.2 submission and WS-Policy 1.5 which is still in progress at the W3C. Some of these specifications reference final OASIS specifications and others reference the contributed drafts. We believe that it would be beneficial to the community to have the same references in a synchronized set of the RX, SX, and TX specifications. Having a consistent set of synchronized references across all of these specifications could enhance eventual interop profiling, provide a more consistent experience across implementations and provide a basis for subsequent specifications. We propose that after the current specifications in the OASIS WS-RX, WS- SX and WS-TX TCs have reached OASIS Standard status and after W3C WS- Policy 1.5 is a W3C Recommendation that the references in the RX, SX, and TX specifications should be updated to create a new synchronized set of standardized versions of the RX, SX and TX specifications. We would like to see these updated references point to only the WS- Policy W3C Recommendation. We recommend the TCs' charters should be clarified to reflect this direction.
