Nat - You bring up a good point... while I can see why the group, being focused on the "social web", might not see SAML as being a major player, perhaps it'd make sense to suggestion a paragraph for inclusion somewhere. Perhaps you or (or someone else on the list) could suggest some reasponable input. It'd need to come in by this Friday, though, as I believe they expect to ratify this report on their next call. - Trent Nat Sakimura wrote:
It is kind of strange that they do not touch on SAML at all also.
Perhaps should we ping them on it?

All -
If you haven't already seen it, the W3C Social Web Incubator Group recently published it's final report:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/FinalReport
Of specific interest to this group is their summary of work taking place around Identity:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/FinalReport#Identity
I'm not sure if it's an oversight or was a conscious decision, but it's interesting that there only mention of "trust frameworks" is in a passing reference.
NOTE: I'm not entirely sure of the status of this report... the header indicates it's complete, but there appear to be some remaining questions embedded in the text.
