Upcoming face-to-face

 

Topics for the upcoming face-to-face 
include:

Administration policy,

Generalization and

Policy distribution.

 

Hal will contact Bill and ask him to issue a new 
draft of the generalization specification by 20th April, so that 
participants in the face-to-face can familiarize themselves with it ahead of the 
meeting.

It was agreed that the face-to-face meeting would 
call into the conference bridge at 4:00pm on the first day and at 11:00am on the 
second day of the face-to-face.  
This would provide an opportunity to brief those who could not attend on 
the progress achieved.  Hal will 
contact the sponsor to make them aware of our intentions.

 

Hal recommended that the face-to-face produce a 
roadmap of activities and goals for the completion of the administration policy 
and generalization drafts.

 

  
Focus group

 

The focus group meeting on the 7th 
April focused on administration policy.  
Some technical decisions were made and a new draft was posted on the 
8th April.

Erik has provided comments on the draft.  In particular, he believes that the only 
combining algorithm that makes sense for administration policy is the 
"permit-overrides" policy.  In the 
light of this observation, the processing model can be considerably 
simplified.

 

Tim mentioned that the impact on the 
request-context has not yet been captured in the working draft.

 

Tim will issue the last draft prior to the 
face-to-face on or before the 20th April.

 

There was some discussion about the suitability of 
the time-slot for the focus group, as attendance has been only three or four 
people.  It was decided to leave it 
in the current time-slot.
