Errata
      in ManageNameIDRequest text 

 

·       
Scott: Where we ended
up is reasonable.  The text does match the schema. We need some clarification
text.  

·       
Brian C:  volunteered
to write the text and post it to the list.

 
  
Errata
      for the conformance spec

·       
Rick: Tom W posted
comments to the list – they’ve been included in the draft. 

·       
Rick: Tom also
suggested that we could slim down the doc by saying the encrypted mode is
everything in the basic mode plus the following.  Rick did not include
this change, leaving each section to stand on its own.

·       
Scott: re: subject
confirmation.  Rick has pulled out the text re: subject conf. So Scott’s
AI to get back to Rick is moot.

·       
Tom: one assertion with
one attribute statement?

·       
Rick: earlier language
said one or more, but comments were that folks don’t do that in practice.

·       
Tom: Conditions that
aren’t recognized? 

·       
Scott: SP has to
understand all conditions. That’s defined by core.

·       
Tom: Order of signing
and encryption? 

·       
Scott: The core spec
already addresses that.  Also, the profile would be cleaner if it just
said that messages must be signed and not go into the details of the
mechanics.  Just refer back to the core for the mechanics.

·       
Tom: will send additional
editorial comments.

·       
Rick: A new draft will
be forthcoming.

 
FYI:
     The metadata extension CD ballot passed 

 
  
Vote
      to approve Metadata Extension spec as a Committee Draft 

 

·       
Scott: Rick’s
attribute profile should normatively reference the new metadata extension. 
Put it in a section on the use of metadata.

 
Any
     other items?
