Subject: Milestones reminder

I wanted to try and summarize in a separate
mail the key milestones we agreed to take a shot at in our SFO meeting
(the full discussion is in the minutes).
The agreed to short term goal
We will focus on a V1.0 deliverable
of the "core" spec along with the Username and X.509 Token profiles
(basically the material that has undergone the recent interop test). We
will (in parallel) close down the spec and hold a second interop test (over
the net) to hit those areas of the spec that the TC felt it was key to
hit before a V1.0 release.
Possible Time-line
Rest of June : Close issues, edit specs,
develop new interop tests
July 1st : Vote to approve the spec
as a committee draft
July 2nd : Public review period starts
July 15th: (during that week) 2nd interop
on specific new scenarios
July 31st : Public review period ends
August/September : OASIS reviews
etc
Late september: V1.0 becomes and OASIS
standard
(in parallel with this of course we
continue to evolve and finish the other profiles etc ASAP)
Steps to get there
As discussed in SFO, if we can agree
closure on all outstanding issues and update the specs in time it is possible
that we could vote the core spec to Committee Draft status on the July
1st call. That would allow us to start the public review phase. In parallel
with the public review, we will try and hold a second interop (over the
internet) the week of July 15th. The public review period is 30 days.
If you were one of the people who had
an action to raise a new issue and have not already done so, please do
so asap so that we can review the issue on the call next week (June 17th).
If we can achieve these targets, I believe
this means we may be in a position to move our spec into the final phases
required to achieve an OASIS standard during August and September. The
final reviews and approvals take about 60 days.
For this goal to be realized the "get
the job done" approach that was taken by the TC in SFO will need to
be sustained over the next few key weeks.
Other key focus items
In parallel with all of this, the TC
will continue to evolve and deliver the other profiles, facilitate other
interops of those profiles and handle other appropriate business. Of course
the number one focus should be on getting a V1.0 out but it's clear we
still have plenty beyond that we need to also close as expeditiously as
we can.
Cheers
Kelvin
