Subject: PSTC Charter
The current charter of the PSTC can be found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/provision/charter.php For convenience in discussion, I include it below, after my signature. Offhand, the first things that bug me about the current charter are: 1) Mentions of resource and service provisioning. SPML can be used for almost anything, but to me it's aimed solidly at user provisioning. 2) Future tense; this says the committee will develop (rather than has developed and will maintain). 3) Mentions of Provisioning specifications including ADPr, XRPM, ITML. Those specs were not particularly influential in the development of SPML, and they are not relevant now. 4) List of Deliverables mentions "Bindings". The PSTC developed a file-based binding for SPMLv1, but that was more of a sample / POC. Bindings were not a deliverable in SPMLv2. 5) Past dates. Says the goal is to submit for approval by 2002. I've also included for comparison, the charter of the SAML TC. The live version can be found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/charter.php. IMO, we could get a pretty good start by copying and modifying that Charter. For example, see the following rough draft: OASIS Provisioning Services TC
Gary Name OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) Statement of Purpose The purpose of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) is to define an XML-based framework for exchanging user, resource, and service provisioning information. The Technical Committee will develop an end-to-end, open, provisioning specification developed from Provisioning specifications including the following: (The following specifications are of public knowledge, accessible, and freely distributed).
And any other relevant and timely submissions will be taken into consideration. List of Deliverables The PSTC will produce a set of one or more Committee Specifications that will cover the following:
All of the aforementioned are to be examined with respect to security considerations. The goal (subject to revision) is to submit a Committee Specification to the OASIS membership for its approval by September 2002. OASIS Security Services TC
