- Rob: seems minor
- question is how to handle? new errata? incorporate into existing
  errata doc?
- Jahan: doesn't think it affects anything normative 
- Scott: it does affect some "MUST" language
- Jahan: will update errata doc, and we'll fix it in v2.0
- Hal: that's all we legally can do

- Eve: all set
- Jahan: knows someone who is not in TC, but is OASIS member, and would
  like to attend
- Eve: just a question of space in the reserved room, which is setup
  to hold around 20
- Prateek: also has lots of requests from folks who've been
  implementing SAML wanting to attend, which is a good thing
- thinks we'll push well over 20
- will put up a ballot to determine number of people intending to come
- Eve: we need to see how many voting members will be attending, and
  make sure we reign in the numbers of non-members
- may be able to reserve bigger room
- observers should send request to the chairs (and Eve, as host) about
  attending, and it's up to the judgment of the chairs to allow/dis
- Rob, Prateek, Eve will talk offline
- [ACTION] Prateek to set up ballot to gauge F2F attendance
- Prateek: but non-members may not be able to get to the ballot

>
>    c. Social event?
>

- Rob: not too many ideas have come in
- can setup dinner reservations
- if there are any additional ideas, send them in
- otherwise, just needs indications of who would be interested in 
  attending
- Jahan: this would be on the 2nd night, right?
- Rob: yes, Tues evening

>
>    d. Agenda development?
>

- Rob: need some work done here
- Prateek: would be happy to help
- Jeff: before, we've had someone draw up a proposed agenda, post it,
  get comments, and proceed
- Irving: can have an open call for topics
- Rob: won't be on next call, so can Prateek post a proposed agenda
  and drive to resolution on next call?
- Prateek: can do
- [ACTION] Prateek to post draft F2F agenda before next call
- Hal: is there anything outside of v2.0 work? Liberty IPR, etc?
- Prateek: <described some topics, which will be in proposed agenda, to
  be posted shortly>
- Eve: would be good to keep track on public site things like 
  implementation lessons, interactions with Liberty, etc
- Prateek: had posted some material on this previously
- [ACTION] Prateek to send Rob link to previous posting, and Rob to 
  update web site with link

>
> 5. V2.0 Call for Editors
>    a. Frederick and Eve are the only volunteers so far. Others?
>

- Rob: Krishna also volunteered
- anyone else?
- Jeff: might be able to
- Rob: that would be good, given you background with Liberty stuff
- John Hughs: volunteers as well
- Eve: happy to serve as coordinating editor
- Jahan: can continue with errata and meta data
- Tim: expecting to help Jeff with SASL and CC work
- Jahan: also keening interested in CC work
- Eve: could do editorial team meetings
- Hal: has keen interest in several technical items, but probably can't
  commit to editor job
- Eve: maybe those editor calls can be focus group calls

> 
> 6. V2.0 scope definition
>    a. Follow-up from 22-July discussion?
>

- Eve: Liberty IPR discussion from last call
    - Liberty contribution came with its own IPR statement
    - Prateek will point to message with that info
    - Rob will update web site to point to that
- Jeff: goal statement just sent to list
    - probably better to hash this out on list with specific wording
    - Rob: if anyone has feedback on the goal statement, post to list
    - we need to settle on goal statement on next call

>
>    b. Multi-participant transactional workflows - several emails
>       exchanged:
>       i.  Sender Vouches vs Bearer Vs Artifact confirmation methods
>

- Rob: there were about 7-8 emails exchanged on this
    - comments?
    - Irving: 'SenderVouches' isn't meaningful in an assertion
    - simply redundant with absent confirmation method
    - Irving: the one condition you could imply is that the absence
      of anything else is intentional
    - Prateek: does this have a technical impact?
    - Jeff: we need to address what is the difference in trust models?
    - Bob Blakely did this way back at a F2F (#4?)
    - can pull the data out, put into doc, and post to list
    - Irving: has only waived arms about artifact profile mandating
      confirmation method of "artifact", because using the assertion
      after the SSO interaction requires requesting a different 
      assertion
    - Prateek: SAML profile in WSS calls out many of these issues
    - Scott: there is no bridge between the SSO interactions and any
      subsequent assertion use
    - Prateek: so is that a use case that folks are interested in?
    - seems to be
    - Prateek: is anyone willing to step up with some scenarios?
    - Scott: can do it
    - RLBob: will assist
    - Jeff: will also
    - [ACTION] Scott, RLBob and Jeff to produce scenarios for multi-
      participant transactional workflows

>
>       ii.  CSIv2/IIOP identity token vs authorization token
>

- Rob: can continue this discussion on list, if people think 
  appropriate

>
>       iii. Using SAML assertions in WSS-SAML Profile
>

- Rob: dealt with above
- Prateek: is it appropriate to have as part of F2F a discussion of the
  state of the WSS-SAML Profile?
- seems to be
- Prateek: will add to agenda
- can feed information back to Ron Monzillo based on that discussion

>
>    c. Liberty ID-FF
>       i.  Can we use ID-FF V1.2?
>

- Prateek: proposes that we solicit contribution of Liberty v1.2
- would like to unify federation layers between SAML & Liberty
- [MOTION] Chairs directed to contact Project Liberty regarding
  submitting ID-FF v1.2 just as they submitted v1.1
- Jeff: draft specs are available
- would be a problem to start some work based on those, provided our
  work is in draft stage
- IPR stuff seems only dependent on final specs (of derivative work)
- Jeff: Liberty already committed (in statement to press?) to 
  contribute ID-FF v1.2 to SSTC
- won't hurt for SSTC to request it anyway
- Liberty won't submit it until it is finalize, but may get direct 
  commitment to do so, freeing SSTC to begin draft work based on
  draft of ID-FF v1.2
- [VOTE] unanimous consent

>
>       ii. Migration issues SAML V1.x/Liberty to SAML 2.0
>

- Prateek: already spending time on this issue
- seeking other volunteers that are more involved with implementations,
  Liberty, etc
- Rob: will assist

>
>    d. Trust and delegation email (Krishna)
>

- Krishna: do we have caching intermediaries now?
- Prateek: don't believe there is a general intermediary case
- Hal: not clear on the terms thrown about here, as they mean so many
  things
- Krishna: wants to work on providing definitions
- Hal: prefers to hear clear problems that aren't currently solved by
  SAML
- Eve: we're still at definition phase, and until that progresses, we
  can't do further work
- Scott: this may relate to earlier discussions

>
>    e. Kerberos support (Krishna)
>

- John Hughes: someone should produce some use cases on this
- offers to take the lead on this
- Hal: a prior email of mine had some implied use cases, which could
  easily be extracted
- John: will be on vacation soon, so it won't be ready until right
  before F2F
- [ACTION] John Hughes to produce use case doc for Kerberos support
- Krishna: can assist

>
>    f. XACML and OGSA proposals for new request type
>

- Hal: some time ago, XACML submitted proposal for enhancement to
  AuthZDecisionRequest to better fit with XACML
- April 3, submitted by Carlisle
- OGSA also had a request that was very similar
- Eve: this is exactly the kind of implementor experience suggestions
  we are looking for
- Hal: expects XACML will analyze OGSA request, and may revise their
  submission (no later than the F2F)

>
>    g. anything else?
>

- Eve: there was a set of things we promised way beck to do in 2.0
- need to go back and gather those
- Scott: certainly, deprecations need to be removed
- [ACTION] Eve to compile v2.0 work items and champions

>    Status: Open
>

- Eve: result turned into candidate work item list
- working on a cross reference list of Liberty items
- Scott working on a spreadsheet-style doc
- could also have references to other efforts such as XACML, WS-Fed
- What about WS-Federation?
    - Hal: BEA's position is to work to a single set of specs
    - Rob: RSA would like to see the same thing
    - Eve: has heard that WS-Fed has features that exist in other open
      specs, but does it have features that we can take as use cases
      for work here?
    - Scott: it has benefit of hindsight
    - Hal: thinks it does have additional features, like UDDI
    - Eve: can you elaborate?
    - Scott: UDDI fits in tighter when you move up stack into 
      federation
    - Eve: so this is more relevant to Liberty?
    - seems so
    - Jeff: there is a need in the Web Services space for discover
      service, and Liberty feels that UDDI is too high up, and designed
      its own
    - Eve: would like to take a use case-based approach to this
    - there may be some marketing impacts to any response to WS-Fed
    - Prateek: what is there we can do, other than urging submission to
      some standards body?
    - Eve: thinks there is work we can do
    - happy to hear that some WS-Fed authors are pursuing convergence
    - we can present ourselves in a stronger fashion as we begin on 
      v2.0, such as additional web site collateral discussed today,
      renewing an attempt at an FAQ section, etc
    - John Hughes: has a white paper that includes several relevant
      use cases, available on their web site (but requires registering)
    - can provide it to anyone who sends him direct requests
    - Eve: soliciting people interested in outreach efforts
        - Krishna, Rob, Jeff, Jahan, RLBob interested
        - Eve: will contact them offline
- analysis done
- CLOSED

> 
>    #0013: Request use of WS-Trust for CC Proposal
>    Owner: Maryann Hondo
>    Status: Open
>

- Rob: can discuss at F2F
- Tim: doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so we should forget it
- Jeff: there are other avenues
- CLOSED (due to lack of response)

> 
> 8. Any other business
>

- Eve: administrative, we can confirm our telecon schedule at the F2F,
  which should be weekly beginning then
- Eve: for work items, can make explicit calls for champions via 
  emails (one per item)

> 
> 9. Adjourn

- Adjourned
