The Java Community Process(SM) Program - JSRs: Java Specification Requests

JSR #351
Java^TM Identity API
JSR Renewal Ballot
Ballot duration: 2015-04-28 to: 2015-05-11

Special Vote Instructions:

An early draft of the API has been completed along with an initial reference implementation. Progress on the API to public review has been delayed in anticipation of the results of other related standardization efforts in the areas of user consent, access control, device authentication, and identity repositories. At this time, the spec leads, who are also committed to those related activities, are not available to complete the API. The spec leads are requesting that the JSR be renewed so that work can be resumed as these circumstances change.

These are the final results of the JSR Renewal Ballot for JSR #351. The EC has approved this ballot.

On 2015-05-05 London Java Community voted No with the following comment:
We don't find their reasons compelling enough and there is not enough public evidence of any meaningful progress.  We'd encourage the participants to form an OSS project around this concept and ensure that it is a real use case that the ecosystem at large wants standardised.

On 2015-05-11 SouJava voted Yes with the following comment:
SouJava agrees with concerns posed by others about progress. We are particularly put off by the very empty promise of resuming work when (and possibly if) "these circumstances change". It is not even clear that things can change before a new renewal ballot comes along...  All that said we ended up deciding to vote YES for this extension request, in our policy of always giving the EG at least one chance of regrouping and reengaging the community. But we would prefer to see future requests from EGs to be more detailed on concrete steps planned to revert the situation.

On 2015-05-07 Keil, Werner voted Yes with the following comment:
The JSR already produced and Early Draft and in some areas of JSR 375 (Security for Java EE) potential synergies (e.g. a special focus of 351 on ABAC "Attribute Based Access Control") were identified that are worth exploring.

On 2015-05-07 IBM voted Abstain with the following comment:
IBM Abstains. We have no objections to the stated goals but have concerns on progress, especially in the context of the unknown time frame for availability of the spec leads. We concur with others that perhaps an open source project would allow more progress on completion and validation of the existing specifications and RI to ensure continued progress.

On 2015-05-11 Azul Systems, Inc. voted Yes with the following comment:
Our concerns about progress are inline with other comments posted here. However, we agree with SouJava on renewing once in hope that EG performance will successfully change in activity and engagement. So we are voting "Yes" this time, but will be voting with a No if another renewal is requested in the future without positive change (presumably another renewal will not be needed if positive change occurs).

On 2015-05-11 Hazelcast voted Yes with the following comment:
We also agree with the concerns that others mentioned already however we voted yes because we hope this is going to speed up a bit in the future but maybe it would make sense to try to find another set of spec leads with more time?
