Here's the text of the announcement:

OASIS members:

I had previously announced that the Web Services Security v1.0
(WS-Security 2004) Committee Draft from the OASIS Web Services Security
TC had received sufficient affirmative votes to be approved as an OASIS
Standard, but because there was a negative vote the TC needed to decide
how to proceed. The co-chairs of the WSS TC have now informed me that
the TC has decided to request the specification be approved despite the
negative vote.

I am pleased, therefore, to announce that Web Services Security v1.0
(WS-Security 2004) has been approved as an OASIS Standard.

Please see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200404/msg00056.html
for the notice from the co-chairs of the TC's action.

-Karl
