[ogsa-wg] [update] OGSA Security Profile 1.0 - Secure Channel

[Djaoui, A (Abdeslem)]

OK Andreas I didn't realise this is the final re-submission to the Editor. I agree it is too late for major edits.
 
However WS-Policy has reached last call working draft status and it is used by all current OASIS/W3C Web Services specifications
and profiles (which are at an advanced state too). It is also implemented widely. 
As such and according to GFD.59 it would still qualify the profile for  recommended profile status.

I think WS-Policy statements/Assertions should be within the scope of any new specification or profile not just BP.
This is because as policy engines are becoming widespread, the meaning of a service description goes beyong WSDL but includes policy documents too.

May be this is the right time for the OGSA-WG to look into the potential uses of WS-Policy for its domain specific requirements and capabilities (e.g. Operational and deployment characteristics, QOS, ...). 

Cheers

Abdeslem,

Though WS-Policy is making its way through the standards process it is a
bit too early to make any statements about it in this profile. (It would
probably make the type of profile go down to informational if we
did---according to GFD.59.)

Also I think it is too late in the process for this document to include
substantially new content. This final call is for re-submission to the
Editor for publication; not for public comment.

Finally the statements that I think you are after do not seem specific
to this profile. They would presumably be more useful in a more basic
OGSA profile, perhaps a future version of the OGSA (WSRF) BP or some
similar basic profile.

Just my 2 yen.
