Colleagues,

    
 

    
You are listed as an 
    author of 

    
"WS-Security Profile of 
    the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language" 

    
draft-sstc-ws-sec-profile-03 available at

    
 

    
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200208/msg00015.html

    
 

    
The SSTC has directed 
    me to submit this draft to the WSSTC. As part of this 

    
process, I am obligated 
    to ask you to affirm your acceptance of the OASIS

    
rules on submissions to 
    a TC. These rules are fully described in Section 3.1 
    of:

    
 

    

    
http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.shtml

    
 

    
I have reproduced Section 
    3.1 in the last part of this message.

    
(1) If you feel 
    comfortable with the language in Section 3.1 (Please read point 
    6
carefully), please send a message affirming your acceptance to the SSTC 
    mailing
list together with any other relevant information. You are 
    done!

    
(2) If you are not 
    comfortable with the language, there are several pathways open.
You can 
    withdraw from authorship with the knowledge that you can join the WSS in 
    taking the draft forward (also IPR issues will be have to dealt with "again" 
    by WSS). We can discuss other options as well.

OASIS.IPR.3.1. All Contributions

    
By submission of a contribution, each person actually submitting

    
the contribution is deemed to agree to the following terms and

    
conditions on his own behalf, on behalf of the organization (if

    
any) he represents and on behalf of the owners of any

    
proprietary rights in the contribution. Where a submission

    
identifies contributors in addition to the contributor(s) who

    
provide the actual submission, the actual submitter(s) represent

    
that each other named contributor was made aware of and agreed

    
to accept the same terms and conditions on his own behalf, on

    
behalf of any organization he may represent and any known owner

    
of any proprietary rights in the contribution.

    
 

    
1.Some works (e.g. works of the U.S. Government) are not subject

    
to copyright. However, to the extent that the submission is

    
or may be subject to copyright, the contributor, the

    
organization he represents (if any) and the owners of any

    
proprietary rights in the contribution, grant an unlimited

    
perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, world-wide right and

    
license to OASIS under any copyrights in the contribution.

    
This license includes the right to copy, publish and

    
distribute the contribution in any way, and to prepare

    
derivative works that are based on or incorporate all or part

    
of the contribution, the license to such derivative works to

    
be of the same scope as the license of the original

    
contribution.

    
2.The contributor acknowledges that OASIS has no duty to publish

    
or otherwise use or disseminate any contribution.

    
3.The contributor grants permission to reference the name(s) and

    
address(es) of the contributor(s) and of the organization(s) he

    
represents (if any).

    
4.The contributor represents that contributions properly

    
acknowledge major contributors.

    
5.The contributor, the organization (if any) he represents and the

    
owners of any proprietary rights in the contribution, agree

    
that no information in the contribution is confidential and

    
that OASIS and its affiliated organizations may freely disclose

    
any information in the contribution.

    
6.The contributor represents that he has disclosed the existence

    
of any proprietary or intellectual property rights in the

    
contribution that are reasonably and personally known to the

    
contributor. The contributor does not represent that he

    
personally knows of all potentially pertinent proprietary and

    
intellectual property rights owned or claimed by the

    
organization he represents (if any) or third parties.

    
7.The contributor represents that there are no limits to the

    
contributor's ability to make the grants, acknowledgments and

    
agreements above that are reasonably and personally known to

    
the contributor.

    
8.By ratifying this document, OASIS warrants that it will not

    
inhibit the traditional open and free access to OASIS documents

    
for which license and right have been assigned according to the

    
procedures set forth in this section. This warrant is perpetual

    
and will not be revoked by OASIS or its successors or 
    assigns.
