Subject: approval in Vienna
Well team, we did it. We were accepted as a technical report at the plenary in Vienna on Friday. I also published the security & registry paper by Farrukh as a white paper, so that there was some sense of the discussions we had with the registry group. Part of the information made it into the R&R specs, but part of the discussion did not. Check out the web site for details and "official postings" of the pdf. Below are the word documents and the change log. Just as an FYI .....regarding ongoing activities...... the steering committee is still working on where security should go... I sent mail last week in which I proposed (with the support of the participants at the f2f) that security be considered part of technical architecture which will be a joint UN/Oasis group. I have tried to emphasize to the STC that if security is NOT part of the TA, then its an enormous burden to have to run around and herd the cats. We'll see. In the current MOU security is a separate group under Oasis. Now, the plan was to have the working groups create charters for the Oasis teams, but since I was the only Oasis member at the f2f :) I could not start a committee of one......we need 3 people to make a proposal to the Oasis group. I think we should wait for now, but any of you who want to move forward are able to collect the 3 votes and proceed. We did talk about maybe trying to form a group to define the XML schema for PKI....kind of a security/CPP type group. Anyone think this is a good idea and want to try to take this on? (Rich?????) By the way we(ebXML) made the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal. Thanks everyone for your help, in person and by mail. It was great to work with you all and I'm sure our paths will cross again. Maryann (See attached file: secdocs.zip)
