Re: formal submission of the security document to QR

[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@tedis.com.au>]

my apologies for the delay in formally responding to you.

this document is a risk assessment of the ebXML framework and as such
identifies the areas were security considerations need to be  addressed in the
ebXML technical specifications.  it is not a technical specification itself
and should not require a plenary vote.

from the perspective of improving the quality of all the ebXML technical
specifications, we are keen to get this document out to the ebXML community as
early as possible.  in particular, those people involved in developing any
technical specifications about to enter their next review period.

therefore, we propose the following review process:

* we consider our discussions last week were a preliminary review

* the QR team recommend the immediate release of this document both for public
comment and use as a completeness check with other specifications.
(NB this would mean you should can consider the comments we made and our
editiorial comments, as part of this public review).

* the Security team will then need to resubmit the new document (with a change
log and
disposition statement) on or before 19th March.  (this will allow any
modifications to be incorporated into the second round of reviews for the
other
specifications).

Klaus, we suggest this document be posted to the "specifications under review"
page of the ebXML web site and that a notice is put out to the general list to
that effect, advising the document is open for public commment and also as a
reference for other teams.
