> APPROVED by unanimous consent.
>
>> 2. Announcements
>>
>> 2.1 Draft SP 800-63 Revision 1: E-Authentication Guideline is 
>> available for a second public comment period (Assertions are in for 
>> Level 4)
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00036.html 
>>
>
> Eric Tiffany noted this news recently.  Our attempt to "raise NIST's 
> consciousness" has resulted in this new guideline, which is good 
> news.  Please do review it to ensure it's accurate.
>
>> 2.2 xspa-saml-profile-cd-01 for public review
>> Bounced back by TC Admin for changes to meet OASIS Requirements
>
> Mary McRae asked us to fix a few formatting issues to bring it into 
> alignment with OASIS requirements.  It's in process.
>
>> 3. Document Status
>>
>> 2.1 sstc-saml-attribute-ext-cd-01.pdf uploaded
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00019.html 
>>
>
> Scott Cantor has posted the CD version (voted to this status last 
> time).  We anticipate packaging up a number of items for public 
> review, including this.
>
>> 2.2 HoK Assertion Profile (draft-07)
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00030.html 
>>
>>
>> 2.3 HoK Assertion Request Profiles (draft-01)
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00031.html 
>>
>
> Tom, holder of the pen on these to date, notes:
>
> Draft 07 of the HoK assertion profile had some changes to the 
> NotBefore and NotOnOrAfter bits, as requested in some (unsolicited!) 
> public comments that came in.  He believes it's ready to move to CD, 
> but it can also sit and wait for the HOK browser SSO profile (Nate's 
> profile).  Hal will plan for a CD vote after the holidays, with a 
> packaging of related specs for public review when they're all ready 
> for that.
>
> The HoK assertion request profile is still new so it's a bit rough, 
> and the requirements are very conservative.  Please take a look.
>
>> 2.4 sstc-saml-holder-of-key-browser-sso-draft-10.pdf 
>> (sstc-saml-holder-of-key-browser-sso-draft-10.pdf) uploaded
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00033.html 
>>
>
> Nate, holder of the pen on this to date, notes:
>
> This draft clarifies which assertions should be bundled with the 
> response.  Tom will pick this up going forward, with some changes he's 
> got planned.  Tom can have draft 11 ready by the 13 Jan 2009 meeting, 
> including all changes/cleanup already planned and also changes 
> suggested by the comments that have come in.
>
>> 3.  Discussion Threads
>>
>> 3.1 PE78: Reassignment of persistent identifiers
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00012.html 
>>
>
> Tom, who started the thread, summarizes: The bottom line is that if 
> the SSTC believes that non-reassignability was intended in the 
> original spec, then we're free to add this clarification as an 
> erratum.  Otherwise we need to consider spinning off a new 
> identifier.  Scott feels the original intent was close to this, and 
> the opposite proposition is nonsensical, so an erratum would be 
> reasonable.  Hal is concerned that the proposition isn't testable.
>
> Option 2, "A given value, once associated with a principal, MUST NOT 
> be assigned to a different principal at any time in the future.", 
> isn't testable but it's the intended sense of the committee.
>
> Scott moves, and JeffH seconds, TO accept option 2 on PE78.  PASSED by 
> unanimous consent.
>
> Scott suggests that we dispose of PE75, PE76, and PE77 on the next call.
>
>> 3.2 2.3 SAMLv2.0 HTTP POST "SimpleSign" Binding
>> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200812/msg00005.html 
>>
>> Ready for Public Review?
>
> And if it's ready, how do we want to bundle specs?  Eve suggests 
> putting it out to public review separately from others, to ensure it 
> gets sufficient attention from communities that are starting to use it 
> in interesting ways.  JeffH agrees.  That means XSPA would be on its 
> own too.  It turns out they can't be packaged together anyway, so 
> never mind. :-)
>
> We had thought a 15-day review on SimpleSign would be sufficient, but 
> with the holidays, either starting a 30-day review now or deferring 
> the start to after the holidays would be best.  Tom sent a diff to 
> JeffH, and he will add it to the document repository.
>
> Eve moves (and JeffH seconds) that we move SimpleSign to a public 
> review, of at least 15 days in length, ending no sooner than January 
> 9.  Motion PASSED by unanimous consent.  (The point of the motion is 
> to ensure that Mary can tackle the request soonish, ideally this 
> week.)  Hal will work with Mary on the request.
>
>> 4. Other business
>
> 4.1
>
> Scott notes that the other profile he submitted last week (for tagging 
> metadata: the Metadata Extension for Entity Attributes Profile) had 
> some comments from Brian.  We should tackle that next time.  He's 
> looking for comments on the list prior to then.
>
> 4.2
>
> Eve asks about the InfoCard Profile work.  Scott says it's tabled 
> until the IMI group figures out its schedules; it's likely to pick up 
> that work, though John B. notes that there isn't much appetite for 
> taking on additional work until the initial ISIP wave of work is 
> done.  Hal wonders if the scenario documents used in the RSA '08 
> Concordia workshop would make good work items for the SSTC, or at 
> least get them submitted so they're more "official".  Eve thinks they 
> might indeed be useful as guidelines.  The scenario Scott had written 
> is fully encapsulated in the InfoCard token profile he's already 
> written, he feels.
>
> Eve will bring this up as a discussion topic in the Concordia call 
> later today.
>
> 4.3
>
> Eric notes that Liberty is changing its staffing, and he'll no longer 
> be on staff in the new year.  Joni Brennan is taking over his staff 
> responsibilities at least in the interim.  The Level of Assurance 
> profile document that he wrote a while back is due for a revision; 
> he'll make a small edit but he hopes others will pick up that work 
> item and he'll reach out to them.
