2. Minutes of January 8, 2010 and January 22, 2010 were approved by unanimous consent.

3. The proposal from Abbie Barbir on voting to recommend to the OASIS Board of Directors that the XSPA Profile be submitted to ITU was discussed. A comment submitted by John Moehrke that sending the profiles to ITU would introduce administrative overhead, will make it harder to revise, and may make the result less accessible was discussed. Others thought sending the profiles to ITU would make them more accessible to a wider audience.

MOTION: “Motion to recommend to the OASIS Board of Directors that the XSPA Profiles of SAML and XACML be submitted to ITU with the caveat that the international version of the XSPA profile would be substituted if appropriate” was made by David Staggs, second by Anil Saldhana.

PASSED (unanimous)

The caveat that the international version of the XSPA profile would be substituted during the initial 9 month waiting period would leverage the HL7 Security and Privacy domain analysis models and the assistance of the ITU staff in making the profile less specific to the US via Abbie Barbir.
