Subject: Web Services Policy 1.5 Is a Recommendation
Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
I am pleased to announce that the "Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework" and "Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment" specifications are now W3C Recommendations:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-ws-policy-20070904
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-ws-policy-attach-20070904
All but one of the Members who responded to the Call for Review of the Proposed Recommendations [1] supported the specification as is and agreed to its publication as W3C Recommendation without changes. One reviewer supports the specification but suggested that additional work would be undertaken to specify a mechanism for associating WS-Policy with an Endpoint Reference, relying on the WS-PAEPR [2] W3C Member Submission. W3C has brought this Submission to the attention of the Web Services Addressing and Web Services Policy Working Groups as well as the Web Services Coordination Group. W3C is hoping to come up with a proposed charter in the upcoming weeks to resolve the missing mechanism for associating Web Services Policy with an Endpoint Reference.
Please join us in congratulating the Web Services Policy Working Group [3] on this achievement.
For Tim Berners-Lee, Director;
Philippe Le Hégaret, Architecture Domain Leader and Team Contact, Felix Sasaki, Team Contact, Susan Lesch, W3C Communications Team
