On May 27, 2003 the OASIS 
SSTC voted to advance the SAML 1.1 

specification drafts to 
candidate specification status. 

 

We are now calling for a public review of the SAML 1.1 candidate 
specification

set. Following OASIS 
guidelines the review period must extend to at 
least

for this 
specification set this period begins May 28, 2003 and closes 

June 30, 2003. Members of 
OASIS and the general public are encouraged to

specification and send their comments to one of the following 

SSTC mailing lists.

3. How will 
the TC respond to my comments?
-------------------------------------------------------

The TC will record the 
comments received as well as the resolution of those comments. 

The TC may conduct any 
number of additional review cycles (i.e. collecting comments, making edits to 
the specification, sending out a revised version for review again, etc.) 

before deciding that the 
review is complete. After the conclusion of the review and final changes to the 
document, the TC must re-approve the work as a Committee Specification before 
submitting it to OASIS for consideration as a standard.
