 Minutes

  NO vote on minutes for 19 May 2011 TC Meeting

II. Administrivia

  Hal noted that he will request at that next call we move back to

  biweekly calls.

 XACML 3.0 core wd 20 uploaded

  The TC is encouraged to review.

 F2F

  Hal will create a poll to gather the final attendance count for the

  F2F.

III. Issues Discussed

 PDP REST Interface (PAP)

  Hal noted that the current thinking on the list attribute

  information would be in JSON and transported using a POST over HTTP

  with the response. He offered that he personally would like to see

  this done in such a way that doesn't cap the functionality.

  David Chadwick concurs with this and noted that his current

  prototype doesn't cover Multiple Resources, but that this isn't part

  of the Core spec.

should read David Brossard concurs... 

  Paul pointed out that the W3C is working to develop standardized

  mechanisms for expressing RDF graphs and that XACML fits within the

  scope of this work. Therefore the TC should consider building upon

  that work. Alternatively, he offered that a "bridge" between XACML

  and the W3C work may be developed.

  Hal countered that direct association with the concept of "Semantic

  Web" work may defeat the underlying driver for this project

  (enhanced approachability of XACML).

  Paul noted that he is not against any efforts to make XACML more

  approachable in HTTP based environments.

 XACML Implementers Guide

  Rich reviewed his position on the ramifications of how the current

  direction on extended Indeterminate response and what it may mean to

  new adopters. This lead to the revival of the Adopters Guide. Rich

  asked that the TC consider adding/updating content to the guide as

  for changes to the spec/Profiles that have been added since the

  guide

IV. New Issue

 Permit|Deny Bias PDPs & Extended Indeterminate

  Rich introduced and issue that was derived from comments by

  Indeterminate (D|P) results need to be percolated up to the response

  when generated by PDP bias.

  Paul asked for clarification where Ind(D|P) would be applicable in a

  real world example. He noted that and Ind(D) could not be converted

  into a Permit. Rich offered that additional Attributes could result

  in a N/A. Paul replied that this still doesn't result in a practical

  Use Case. Rich suggested that the TC dig into Chapter 2 of the

  Implementor's Guide to begin the clarification process.

 Obligations/Advice combining ambiguities.

  Rich asked for input on the current understanding on how Obligations

  /Advices are combined in a deterministic manner. Hal reviewed the

  historical context of the desire for unordered evaluation. Rich

  will post a proposed solution to the list that is based upon the

  concept of a "default" behavior, that is followed by a list of an

  enumerated list of Obligations/Advices that are attempted.
