Subject:   Public Review of SAML 1.1 Committee Specification

On May 27, 2003 the OASIS Security Services TC (SSTC) voted to advance the SAML 1.1 specification drafts to Commmittee Specification status, and to begin a public review of the specification.

Following OASIS guidelines the review period must extend to at least 30 days; for this specification set this period begins May 28, 2003 and closes June 30, 2003. Members of OASIS and the general public are encouraged to review the candidate specification and send their comments to one of the following SSTC mailing lists.

OASIS SSTC members should send their comments to the mail list at:

security-services@lists.oasis-open.org

NOTE: Only subscribers may post to the security-services list. However, any OASIS member may subscribe to the security-services list. To subscribe, please join the OASIS TC as described on the page at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/join.php

The general public ("reviewers at-large") should send comments to:

security-services-comment@lists.oasis-open.org

NOTE: Before sending messages to the security-services-comment list, YOU MUST FIRST SUBSCRIBE. Go to http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl to subscribe to this list.

Archives of both the lists are available at:

A draft describing the differences between SAML 1.0 and SAML 1.1 is available at:

Note that this ['sstc-saml-diff-1.1-draft-01.doc'] document is NOT part of the SAML 1.1 specification set.

The TC will record the comments received as well as the resolution of those comments. The TC may conduct any number of additional review cycles (i.e., collecting comments, making edits to the specification, sending out a revised version for review again, etc.) before deciding that the review is complete. After the conclusion of the review and final changes to the document, the TC must re-approve the work as a Committee Specification before submitting it to OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard.

Submitted by the SSTC co-chairs, Prateek Mishra and Rob Philpott, May 28, 2003.
