RE: [ws-sx] Proposed Charter Clarification

Not everyone will use WS-SecurityPolicy (so it does not cover WS-SecureConversation as a stand-alone specification), the examples on WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation should not assume WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-SecurityPolicy may cover WS-Security, WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation, but that may not be complete as WS-Federation extends WS-Trust and WS-SecurityPolicy so there would be more examples there.

Well it already covers SP and SC, so that just leaves Trust.

I don't think that this level (CS) is necessary as we don't do this for actual interop (that work) documents or for any of the other documents in the TC.

At best I think that if we are going to create a examples document, it should cover all specifications in the TC not just WS-SecurityPolicy

Thanks Hal for posting the text

Chris and I took an action to setup a vote with the OASIS staff once Hal posted his text. Before I do that I'd just like to solicit any feedback from TC members on Hal's text (which looks fine to me).

Any comments anyone before we setup the ballot?

I'll probably ask Mary to setup the Ballot on Thursday so that gives folks a few days to provide any feedback. I will assume that silence == agreement to proceed.

Thanks everyone and for those of you with national holidays this week - have a safe and enjoyable one.

Cheers
Kelvin

Subject	[ws-sx] Proposed Charter Clarification

I took an action to propose text for a clarification of the charter.

Section d of the charter currently reads:

-----
d. Deliverables

The TC has the following set of deliverables:

* A revised Web Services SecureConversation specification and
associated Schema. A Committee Specification is scheduled for completion
within 18 months of the first TC meeting.

* A revised Web Services Trust specification with associated Schema
and WSDL. A Committee Specification is scheduled for completion within
18 months of the first TC meeting.

* A revised Web Services SecurityPolicy specification and associated
Schema. A Committee Specification is scheduled for completion within 18
months of the first TC meeting.

These specifications will reflect refinements, corrections or material
technological improvements with respect to the input documents and in
accordance with this charter. Ratification of the above specifications
as OASIS standards. Following this, ratification of updated
specifications as revised OASIS standards to address any errata to fix
errors and to replace policy references to the WS-Policy W3C
Recommendation as soon as that Recommendation is available will mark the
end of the TCs lifecycle.
----

I propose adding the following text below the third bullet.

" * A Web Services Security Policy Examples document containing
narrative descriptions, example policies and example messages for
message exchanges which are expected to be widely used. A Committee
Specification is scheduled for completion by the end of calendar 2007."
