3.
General Announcements

September
Identity Management Conference was discussed. Anil suggested the TC participate
in this conference because it was vital to introduce others to the profiles and
demonstrations.  

 

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

A
walk though of the profile showed all comments have been addressed.  A spread sheet of the public comments is
at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201007/msg00004.html

 

TC
agreed that all comments were considered and changes incorporated during
previous meetings.  During the final
walk-through, XML examples required two corrections. Therefore TC authorized
Duane to make final corrections as a new Committee Draft (CD).

 

MOTION:
That the current draft be updated as CD-06 (xspa-ws-trust-profile-cd-06.doc) incorporating
changes suggested in the meeting. [Anil]

SECOND:
Duane

DISCUSSION:
None

VOTE:
approved unanimously.

 

The
committee decided the CD was ready to be voted as Committee Specification
(CS).  Therefore the issue of any
substantive changes from the previous public review was discussed. TC commented
that the XML was well-formed and consistent with that used in the RSA 2010
InterOp of the profile.

 

MOTION:
That no substantive changes (i.e. changes that would require a compliant
application or implementation to be modified or rewritten in order to remain
compliant) have been added since the public review announced April 27:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201004/msg00015.html.

SECOND:
Duane

DISCUSSION:
None

VOTE:
approved unanimously.

 

The
committee decided the profile should be voted as a CS, which requires a Special
Majority Vote that must be carried out as an electronic ballot.

 

MOTION:
That the TC Co-chairs shall notify the TC Administrator that the TC is ready to
vote on the approval of the profile as a CS, and provide to the TC
Administrator the location of the editable versions of the specification files.
[Duane]

SECOND:
Anil

DISCUSSION:
None

VOTE:
approved unanimously.

 

The
committee then considered the language in “Governing the OASIS Technical
Committee Process” document that 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
committee decided to vote on the submitting the CS for consideration as an
OASIS Standard simultaneously with the approval of the CS.  

 

Three
member statements of use are noted below.

 

IBM's
Statement of Use of the WS-Trust profile:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201008/msg00006.html

Oracle’s
Statement of Use of the WS-Trust profile:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201008/msg00015.html

Jericho
Systems Corporation’s Statement of Use of the WS-Trust profile:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xspa/email/archives/201008/msg00007.html

 

MOTION:
That the TC Co-chairs shall notify the TC Administrator that the TC is ready to
submit the CS to the Membership of OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard
simultaneously with the approval of the profile as a CS, and that the TC
Co-chairs provide to the TC Administrator with any documentation requested and
set up a Special Majority Vote for this purpose as required. [Duane]

SECOND:
Anil

DISCUSSION:
None

VOTE:
approved unanimously.

 

The
committee then stated its belief that all requirements in the OASIS process
document to move the current CD to CS and immediately then to a vote as an
OASIS Standard had been observed.

 

5. Proposal to
Join IDTrust Member Section

Anil provided
several reasons why the TC should join the IDTrust Member Section.  Mike asked if there was any
administrative burden in joining the IDTrust Member Section.  Anil stated there was only upside.  The committee then decided to vote on
the proposal:

 

MOTION:
That the TC Co-chairs shall notify the TC Administrator that the TC is ready to
vote that the XSPA TC joins the
IDTrust Member Section [Anil]

SECOND:
Mike

DISCUSSION:
None

VOTE:
approved unanimously.

 

6. General
discussion

ongoing discussion on creating a XSPA service hosted by OASIS that would allow
testing of XSPA implementations.  John
