Subject: First draft of ballot questions
{AP-1} Generalized or specialized solution
This is a common question about the design process. Should we develop a solution that is specialized to satisfying just those requirements identified by the Use Case sub-committee, or should we "induce" a more general set of requirements and provide a solution for that? In the latter case, we would "profile" the chosen design to address the identified use cases.
The arguments are familiar. On the one hand, the specialized solution could be more streamlined for the particular situations identified by the Use Cases sub-committee. On the other hand, the generalized approach may turn out to be sufficiently flexible to address a broader set of problems, and thereby find more widespread use.
Question: which of these statements do you agree with (only one, please)?
Answer:
1. We should develop a generalized solution as an interim step to satisfying the specific requirements identified by the Use Cases sub-committee.
2. We should directly address the requirements identified by the Use Case sub-committee.
{AP-2} Questions the PEP can ask the PDP
(Note: In our discussions we have spoken in more general terms about the questions "one entity" can ask "another entity", not limiting the discussion to the conversation between the PEP and the PDP. However, I think it will be easier to address one pair of entities at a time. The discussion will be more concrete. If necessary, we can decide later on a similar question about other entity pairs.)
We have to decide what types of information should be supplied by the PDP to the PEP. Four options appear to be available.
Question: What type of information should the PEP expect to receive from the PDP? The answers are not mutually exclusive, so answer "yes" to as many ways as you want.
Answer:
{AP-3} Question: should we define a PDP-PDP protocol?
Answer:
{AP-4} The number of assertions in a message
The question arises as to how many assertions, and of what types, can appear in a single message. Again, let's focus on the message between the PEP and the PDP. The implications of our decision for the other messages should become clear.
The options are:
