Hello, the XML Security Specifications Maintenance Working Group has been discussing the proposed charter some more, and made a few refinements since its face to face. The current text is here: http://www.w3.org/2007/xmlsec/wiki/charter One of the more significant changes is to allow changes to XML Encryption as part of the charter. The intent is to allow changes to XML Encryption to enable it to be compatible to changes introduced with XML Signature. One concern is to limit the working group scope appropriately, thus there isn't clear consensus that this is an appropriate change. An additional question is whether we should charter requirements and changes to XML Encryption beyond changes needed for consistency with XML Signature. An example is whether there is a need and interest to work on support for elliptic curve cryptography in XML Encryption. In chartering terms, the decision would probably be whether there needs to be a separate requirements task for XML Encryption and optional XML Encryption deliverable, or whether the focus is on XML Signature. This would be a useful time to indicate interest in these kinds of work items -- either to this list, in public, or (if you prefer to keep that information member-confidential) in e-mail to us, copied to w3c-archive@w3.org.
