Mary,

The WS Federation TC passed a motion to start an electronic ballot to ask the TC administrator to approve WS-Federation as a standard in spite of the negative vote received. Please see the minutes (attached and at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsfed/email/archives/200905/msg00002.html).

Regards,
Mike

4. Results of Standard Vote
     - Ballot [2]
     - Email from Mary McRae re: Process for Affirming OASIS Standard [3]
     - Discussion, Motion, and Vote on Electronic Ballot
             
      The ballot passed 49 Yes and 1 No vote.  We must address the no
      vote per OASIS process. Mary's note [3] indicates that we have
      three options:

      (a) We can request the admin to approve the submitted specification
              without any changes despite the no vote.  This requires a
              special majority ballot by the TC.
      (b) We can choose to withdraw the submission.
      (c) We can choose to address the comment via a specification
              amendment and restart the approval process for the amended spec.
             
      Consensus of the TC members on the call is to proceed with option
      (a).  The intent of the group has always been to do this and it might
      have been better had we gotten the comment during the review period
      so that we could have responded then.  


      MOTION: Affirm OASIS Standard Status for WS-Federation v1.2
              Does the TC desire to approve the specification as submitted
              (Web Services Federation Language v1.2) as an OASIS Standard
              despite the negative vote received?

              Motion made by Mike Kaiser and seconded by Don Adams
              No response to request for additional discussion.
     
      Motion approved w/o objection to unanimous consent.
     
      ACTION:
      AI20090512-002 - Chairs to work with Mary to get Affirmation ballot
              started.

5. Other business
              None.

7. Roll Call Additions
             3 additions added to attendee list above.

8. Adjournment
