Subject: RE: [security-jc] submission of OASIS work to ITU-T
The main issue that I would see is the issue of copyright. In the past the ITU has demanded exhorbitant fees to get a copy of their standards. This in turn killed any grass roots interest in the OSI stack which was one of the reasons the ITU failed in that area. It has also meant that they can't be used in teaching. I don't think that endorsement by the ITU will have more than a marginal difference to the credibility of the standard. None of my customers seem to care where a standard comes from as long as it is widely supported and meets some definition of open. What is the overhead of this move, what does it cost in terms of effort? Who has ongoing change control, can the ITU develop a new version of SAML?
