Fwd: [oasis-member-discuss] Proposed Submission of OASIS XSPA Profiles for SAML & XACML to ITU

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

Our Liaison Policy requires that management act within 15 days of the
end of the member comment period, to approve or reject properly-made
proposals for submissions of OASIS Standards to other standards
bodies.  It also requires that we notify the proposers.

I'm pleased to confirm that management approved your request that we
submit the completed XSPA profiles to ITU-T, on the terms originally
posted. .The publicly-viewable notice is below, and this is your
notification.

Our Liaison Policy rules require a cooling-off period in case anyone
objects;  Seems unlikely here.  I am communicating with our Board
about an option to speed that up a little.  Still, with the posting of
the notice below, for all practical purposes, the news is out.

Cordially, JBC

Last month, the OASIS Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy
Authorization (XSPA) TC requested that OASIS send two OASIS Standards
to the International Telecommunications Union, Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T), Study Group 17 on Security, for their
further approval as ITU-T Recommendations.  The standards to be
submitted are:

XSPA Profile of SAML for Healthcare Version v1.0
XSPA Profile of XACML v2.0 for Healthcare Version v1.0

This proposal was announced to OASIS members here:
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oasis-member-discuss/201003/msg00001.html
for member comment,. as required by the OASIS Liaison Policy on
submission to outside organizations:
   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/liaison_policy.php#submitwork
The archive of comments can be found here:
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oasis-member-discuss/

The review period has closed, and no negative comments were received.
The submission has been approved, on the terms originally described in
the proposal as posted.  OASIS plans to confirm the transmission of
the standards to ITU-T shortly, as provided by our policy.

Respectfully,  JBC
