Title: XACML Conference Call Minutes

XACML Conference Call

Date:  Thursday, January 10, 2002

Time: 10:00 AM EST

Tel: 512-225-3050 Access Code: 65998

Minutes of Meeting

 

Summary

The policy model subcommittee reported that they had been focusing on collecting issues and opinions on those issues at the last few meetings. The conference call then focused on discussing the Issues list and which items should be discussed at the upcoming Face to Face. We got about halfway through it and had picked the following: PM-1-01, PM-1-02, PM-2-01, PM-3-01, PM-3-02, PM-4-01, PM-5-01. It was asked that members review the rest of the list and indicate to the mailing list any others they felt should be discussed. Turnout for the face to face appears to be strong. The last topic discussed was ContentGuard’s intellectual property with XrML and whether that impacts XACML. Oasis has a specific documented IPR policy regarding this and as Oasis members, it is up to ContentGuard to disclose the necessary information to OASIS.

11:00

IP

Ernesto raised issue about ContentGuard on list. Conceivable would intersect with XACML.

Carlisle - If ContentGuard thinks work is infringing on their patents, they have to let Oasis know, officially. OASIS has a specific IPR policy

Anne – Not in favor of any standard that requires specific licensing, royalty payments, etc.

Ken – ContentGuard’s licensing policy for XrML does not ask for royalties.
