    Concerns were raised as to whether the "what-if" queries would
    generate different results than a real-time decision.

4. URI/URL Concatenation question
    The TC decided to use URI-string-concatenate as the consistent name
    of this function in the Errata document. The Errata document will
    also clarify that string semantics will be used for processing.

    The TC will consider deprecating uri-string-concatenate in XACML v3,
    replacing it with a set of "<type>-to-string" and "string-to-<type>"
    conversion functions.

5. Latest Draft of the XACML v3 administrative policy specification
    Erik has posted the latest Draft (WD 11). The Target proposal from
    Daniel is still pending.

6. Policy Examples
    The TC has agreed to accept policy examples for posting on the WIKI
    at http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/PolicyExamples  Anyone inside or
    outside the TC is encouraged to submit URLs to examples of XACML
    policies that can be used for research or learning.

7. Anne is working on the revised SAML profile.

8. Next meeting is July 20
