Yes, these are the two ones we know about so far.

OK so there will be one proposal from Verisign and one proposal from RSA as 
  input documents, right ?

Hi 
  Tony.

Here is VeriSign's statement on this issue

"VeriSign will 
  contribute a draft version of the OTP token 
profile that was developed by 
  VeriSign.  VeriSign agrees that 
this contribution will be compliant 
  to the terms and conditions 
that are specified under OASIS.IPR.3.1 of the 
  'Legacy OASIS 
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy'. 
  

Additionally, VeriSign is not aware of any patents or applications 
  
that may be relevant to the proposed 
  contribution."

Thanks,
Hans

Its still confusing as its states that "RSA Security 
  proposes to
submit a version of this document as
"input to the WSS TC" 
  yet as discussed it was indicated that
this effort is not about a single 
  technology, so I would assume that the
document would be not input but 
  referenced, much like PKI, Kerberos etc.
Also if RSA plans to really submit 
  the document as input what would be
the IPR terms ? Same goes to Verisign ?

John and Hans, 
  thank you for taking the time to update and
re-post your proposal. 
  

TC Members, Now that we have a modified proposal in front of 
  us
what do people think? 

I would very much like to see some 
  discussion here so that we
can be effective on the call on Tuesday. 
  

Thanks to those of you that have already posted your views 
  

Cheers
Kelvin
