II. Administrivia

   Speaking opportunity for XACML TC at European Identity Conf (EIC)

    in Munich 17 April: Jane wanted to know by 3/30, but let's discuss

    if any interest, then can find out if still available:

     http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00015.html

        dave broussard signed up for EIC speaking

   XACML Core v3.0 WD-23 uploaded: still open issue as to what the

    baseline for this rev is: i.e. did not seem to match w wd22.

    See mtg minutes for more detail:

     http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00014.html

    original wd-23 notice:

     http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00007.html

        ready to vote to CSD wd23? (hal)

        Recent diffs make it difficult to review changes,

         need to discuss changes in identity wording (rich)

        Typography issues need to be fixed prior to CSD?

         (eric, ray fine without font changes)

        Move to take wd23 to CSD (eric) seconded (ray)

        Do cross references need to be updated now?

          How did we do it last time?

        Defer vote for CSD to next call to allow time to research,

         address cross references

        Urge everyone to review docs,

         be prepared for CSD vote on next call

   New item (rich): off list request rcvd from Oded Sofer of IBM

    asking when XACML 3.0 expected to be released:

     hal: indicated that while ind members may express their

        opinions on projected dates, it is the TC process itself,

        and the TC, as a whole, that determines the actual

        schedule.

     interested parties may refer to the OASIS Technical Committee

        Approval Process to provide a basis for understanding where

        in the process a specific spec is, and what remains for

        its final approval:

          http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#standApprovProcess

     also noted: do existing attestions need to reattest in light of

         recent edits to spec? (rich, hal) - we will revisit this

         as we move along in the process - no issues expected, but

         it may be prudent to reissue the attestations referring to

         the specific version being referred to.

III. Issues

   XACML Media Types (last mtg members asked to review the comments)

   (Comment: Erik)

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00008.html

        Ray to update document for next call

        (john) no way to exchange request (collection of attributes)

         without a compete decision request around it

        How does PDP get all xacml attributes from, say, PIP?

        (hal) Note recent proposal in SAML TC.

        (john) could suffice, but can that handle non-subject attributes?

        (john) Among the collection of media types defined,

         there appears to be a gap

        (hal) can be extended later

        (ray) media types we have so far should be enough for

         the REST profile

   XACML Core v3.0 Comments

   (Comment: Remon) also added comment in minutes about diagram

     needs minor fix)

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201203/msg00009.html

   XACML v3.0 Open Items

   Issues list:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201202/msg00001.html

   Issue #3:  Combining Algorithm

    general consensus is to create a separate Profile; erik to author

     Eric posted a proposal for this comb alg as a separate profile.

      Needs review.

   Issue #4 Context Handler

    update in latest draft wd-23: members should review

   Issue #8 Schema Anomalies ("choice element" or "Policy w no Rules")

     rich has action to post to wiki details of this issue and what

      suggested action will be.

        Meeting adjourned approx: 1:35

        Next call April 19
