II. Issues

  #47 - WS-Policy Assertion Formats for XACML
   Anne reviewed her draft on resolution to this issue.

   Tony asked if "nesting" capabilities of WS-Policy are addressed in
   this  proposal. Anne stated that the XACMLPolicyAssertion (or whatever
   it ends up being named) will not include nested policies - such an
   Assertion is completely self-contained, with all semantics defined in
   XACML.

   Anne will be publishing an updated version of the proposal in the next
   week.

  #49-52 Delegation with open Attribute Categories
   Erik reviewed his notes from the wiki on how delegation is affected by
   Daniel's proposal for Attribute Categories (Issue #3)
     http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/IssuesList

   Issue #3: PENDING

   Erik noted that pursuing this model will "break" backwards
   compatibility with v2 (Issue #9). The current thinking by the group is
   that a v3 compliant PDP must be able to read v2 policies (stemming
   from discussion on list).

   General consensus by the TC is that Erik update the current Draft to
   reflect the changes proposed.


  #24 Mixed administrative/access target
   Discussion amongst the TC generated the general belief that the
   feature proposed in this issue doesn't solve the use case presented.
   Issue: PENDING.

III. General
   Naming Conventions
   Anne will review the changes to the Oasis naming conventions and
   report back to the TC.

   Hal noted that he will be speaking at the Open Geospatial Consortium
   to present XACML.
