15-day Public Review for Privacy Management Reference Model and Methodology (PMRM) V1.0

The OASIS Privacy Management Reference Model (PMRM) TC members [1] have produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 15-day public review:

Privacy Management Reference Model and Methodology (PMRM) Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 02 / Public Review Draft 02
13 December 2012

Specification Overview:

The Privacy Management Reference Model and Methodology (PMRM, pronounced “pim-rim”) provides a model and a methodology for:

• understanding and analyzing privacy policies and their privacy management requirements in defined use cases; and

• selecting the technical services which must be implemented to support privacy controls.

It is particularly relevant for use cases in which personal information (PI) flows across regulatory, policy, jurisdictional, and system boundaries. PMRM picks up where broad privacy policies leave off. Most policies describe fair information practices and principles but offer little insight into actual implementation. PMRM provides a guideline or template for developing operational solutions to privacy issues. It also serves as an analytical tool for assessing the completeness of proposed solutions and as the basis for establishing categories and groupings of privacy management controls.

TC Description:

The OASIS PMRM TC works to provide a standards-based framework that will help business process engineers, IT analysts, architects, and developers implement privacy and security policies in their operations.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 07 January 2013 and ends 22 January 2013. The specification was previously submitted for public review [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from the previous review. Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file [3]. The record of comments received and their resolution by the TC can be found at [4].

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.

All members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a member’s patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an approved OASIS specification.

OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice page for this TC’s work.
