[KI-LC] Charter for Identity Provider Selector Work Group accepted for review

[J. Trent Adams]

All -

A discussion about the proposed "Identity Provider Selector" Work Group
was held on the June 3, 2009 Leadership Council teleconference [1] in
which the following high-level points were raised:

* Request possible definition in the charter for
the term "Identity Provider Selector

* Request to more clearly highlight the intended
standards body (i.e. OASIS)

* Discussion around the proposed 5-year duration
of the WG and how it was estimated.
o Completion of the specification work is
estimated to be one year.
o The duration of the life of the WG was set
as a default estimate.

* Discussion around scoping the charter to possibly
include (or expressly exclude) work by Concordia
and other "Identity in the Browser" projects.

Philippe indicated he believed each of these points should be addressed
and will be working with various LC Members and the WG proposers to
update the charter.

Based on the expected rework, and in consideration of meeting times with
the proposers, a date was set for the vote on the charter. As the
soonest available date does not coincide with a LC teleconference, we
will hold the vote via electronic ballot (as provided for in KI
Operating Procedures 2.6).

Please make note of the following procedure:

* A call for votes will be sent as an email to
this discussion list on June 17, 2009.

* In the email you will be asked to respond
in favor of approving the Work Group,
not in favor of approving the Work Group,
or for your abstention.

* If you do not reply to the call for vote, your
vote will be counted as an abstention.

* Voting closes at 23:59 UTC on June 19, 2009.
Any votes received after that time will not be
included in the final tally.

* The results of the vote will be officially
announced by or on Monday, June 22.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on this process,
please raise them so they can be addressed without delaying the vote.

Thanks, and bon chance to Philippe.
