[xcbf] [Fwd: [security-jc] submission of OASIS work to ITU-T]

Security JC:

FYI - I have been approached recently by a representative from the ITU-T 
central secretariat, Richard Hill, who expressed interest in having 
OASIS submit some of our completed work for approval under the ITU-T 
process. OASIS was earlier in the year granted A.4 and A.5 recognition 
by ITU-T, and they would like to see us take advantage of that 
recognition by submitting some of our work. (This is similar to what we 
are doing with the ebXML specs: submitting them to ISO for approval 
under their process.)

ITU-T is particularly interested in our security work, as that is a 
topic that they work on quite a bit. I suggested that perhaps we could 
submit the SAML, recently approved as an OASIS Standard, and XACML, 
which we hope will also be approved soon. Richard thought that this 
would be a good plan, and he and I will discuss how best to do this 
under the ITU-T process while still allowing OASIS ownership of the work 
and retaining the right of the OASIS TCs to do further work on the specs.

-Karl
