Subject: result of vote on WSS -- TC action required
WSS TC members: The ballot for approving the WSS specification as an OASIS Standard has closed. There were sufficient affirmative ballots to approve the specification (77, or 22%), but there was also a single negative ballot. Because there was a negative ballot, action is required by the TC within 30 days: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard "If at the end of the voting period at least 15 percent of the voting membership has voted to approve the proposed standard, then if no votes have been cast to disapprove the proposed standard, it shall become an OASIS Standard immediately following the end of the voting period. However, if negative votes amounting to less than 15 percent of the voting membership have been cast, the TC will be notified of the negative votes, after which the TC shall have 30 days to take one of the following actions by resolution: (a) request OASIS TC Administration to approve the specification as submitted despite the negative votes; (b) withdraw the submission entirely; or (c) submit an amended specification, in which case the amended submission shall be considered as if it were a new submission, except that information regarding previous votes and any disposition of comments received in previous votes shall accompany the amended submission." To help you make the decision on how to handle the negative ballot, I am passing on to you the comments that I solicited from the person who cast that ballot: ----------- WS-Security uses URIs for the value of type attribute, e.g. ValueType attribute and EncodingType attribute. But in the proposed specification, there is no statement of unabbreviated URIs and the description of the URIs is ambiguous. This might cause a serious interoperability problem. The URIs should be clearly specified in the specification. regards, Matsuki Yoshino Hitachi Ltd., ------------ I will announce to the OASIS membership that the approval of the WSS specification is pending your decision. I expect to hear back from you within 30 days. Notification to me by the chair of a majority decision of the TC is sufficient. -Karl ================================================================= Karl F.
