3.
General Announcements

Jane
Harnad stated the annual Identity Management Conference will be held this
September at the World Bank HQ in Washington,
 DC.  Jane asked if someone in the TC might be
willing to present at the conference.  

 

4.
Review of updates made to the XSPA Profile of WS-Trust 

Duane
has posted an update the meets the comments from the last TC review: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201008/msg00002.html

 

We
will walk through the profile to ensure all comments have been considered and
gather any additional updates from the TC. 

 

After
we approve the changes suggested by Duane in the current Committee Draft we
have the option of voting the draft to Committee Specification (CS) if there
are no substantive changes introduced. 
“Substantive Change” is:

 

a
change to a specification that would require a compliant application or implementation
to be modified or rewritten in order to remain compliant.   

 

I
propose that the addition of the diagram and text to the draft do not
constitute a substantive change.  That
means we are free to vote our updated committee draft to CS, which requires a
Special Majority Vote.

 

The
“Governing the OASIS Technical Committee Process” document
states:  

 

Simultaneously
with the approval of a Committee Specification or at a later date, and after
three Statements of Use have been presented to the TC, a TC may resolve by
Special Majority Vote to submit the Committee Specification to the Membership
of OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard. 

 

The
word “simultaneous” means to me that we can vote now to move the
CS, if passed, to a vote as an OASIS Standard contingent on the receipt of
three Statements of Use.  

 

Note
a "Special Majority Vote" is a TC vote in which at least 2/3 (two
thirds) of the Voting Members vote "yes" and no more than 1/4 (one
fourth) of the Voting Members vote "no". […] All Special
Majority Votes must be conducted via electronic ballot by the OASIS TC
Administrator. 

 

5. Proposal to
Join IDTrust Member Section

Anil has sent an
e-mail to the TC lists describing the pros and cons of joining the IDTrust
Member Section:

6. General
discussion

 

Please submit
any additional suggestions to the agenda to the list.
