SSO Authentication RFC period: Nov 1 - Dec 16

[Brian Major]

Dear IVOA members,

The Grid and Web Services Working group announces the start of the Request
For Comments period for version 2.0 of the IVOA Single-Sign-On Profile:
Authentication Mechanisms (SSO) specification.

Thanks to Giuliano Taffoni for his work on this version of the document.

The proposed standard is available here:

    *http://www.ivoa.net/documents/SSO/20151029/index.html
<http://www.ivoa.net/documents/SSO/20151029/index.html>*

The RFC page is located here:

    *http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SSO20RFC
<http://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SSO20RFC>*

The RFC period will run for six weeks: Nov 1, 2015 to Dec 16, 2015.  This
is the opportunity for those involved in the GWS working group, the members
of the TCG (Technical Coordination Group), and for those involved with the
IVOA in general to comment on the proposed recommendation.

Since the SSO specification is a recommendation on how to use existing
industry standards, there is no requirement for implementations and
validators.

Cheers,
Brian
