1. Call for Public Review of SAML 1.1 Candidate Specification Set
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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 

30 days; 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

review the candidate specification and send their comments to one of the following

SSTC mailing lists.

 

 

2. How can I send a comment?

---------------------------------------

 

OASIS SSTC members should send their comments to the..

  security-services@lists.oasis-open.org

mailing list.

NOTE: Only subscribers may post to the security-services list. However, any

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.
