30-day Public Review for Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization (#XSPA) Profile of SAML v2.0 for Healthcare V2.0 – ends 28 May

The OASIS Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization (XSPA) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for 30-day public review:

Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization (XSPA) Profile of SAML v2.0 for Healthcare Version 2.0
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
15 April 2014

With the release we are testing a convenience option for submitting comments to the Technical Committee. Please see the details under ‘Public Review Period’ below.

Specification Overview:

This document describes the vocabulary for the attributes that are significant in making access control decisions in the context of health information exchange.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 29 April 2014 at 00:00 GMT and ends 28 May 2014 at 23:59 GMT.

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.

With this public review, we are testing a new convenience feature for sending comments to the Technical Committee. The file

http://docs.oasis-open.org/xspa/saml-xspa/v2.0/csprd01/saml-xspa-v2.0-csprd01-COMMENT-TAGS.html

contains the HTML version of the draft with a “[comment?]” link next to each section heading. Clicking on this link will launch your email application and begin a message to xspa-comment@lists.oasis-open.org with the specific section number and title in the subject line. (For example, “Public review comment for saml-xspa-v2.0-csprd01: 1.1 References”) Simply enter your comment and click send.

You must be subscribed to the xspa-comment@lists.oasis-open.org mailing list in order to send your comments. Instructions on how to subscribe can be found at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=xspa.

Note that the Table of Contents doesn’t work in this version and other internal document links may not work in this file. That is one of the items we need fix before making this capability more broadly available. Please feel free to let us know if you find this feature helpful. We plan to refine it and make it a part of our normal public review process.
