Subject: New Profiles
When we wisely decided that tokens would be specified by separate documents we did not, unwisely :-), explicitly determine whether new profiles would be developed under this TC or under a new TC. The OTP-Token is one of probably many additional new token profiles. I would like to propose, for discussion, the following motion: "Any additional profiles other than those currently contained within the 1.0 and 1.1 WSS specification be developed within an OASIS TC other than the existing WSS TC." I realize that this is a larger issue than that of the OTP-Token proposal, but closing this hole will, as a side effect, resolve the OTP-Token issue. However, this raises another issue. Who or what controls what new profiles will be incorporated into the WSS protocol? Should the WSS TC have approval of any new profiles developed by the new TCs or should any profile that gains OASIS status be accepted as a legitimate WSS profile. Since any OASIS member, including WSS TC members, may vote, raise issues and comment on the acceptance of new profiles, I believe that this would be sufficient oversight.
