- Prateek: had an AI to enumerate use cases, did that
- encourages posting of any additional use cases
- we will be prioritizing use cases after 11 Nov call
- John: asking about Kerberos use case, which he didn't see in list
- Prateek: recent list came from F2F discussions
- consolidated list will be posted before 11 Nov call
- Prateek: would like to run through last night's posting
  < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
    200310/msg00190.html >
    - W1
        - MikeB: has already provided
          < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
            200310/msg00166.html >
        - Tony: posted last night to list

            200310/msg00188.html >
        - needs a little more work
        - RLBob: are we thinking this precludes any more use cases 
          coming in describing sessions?
        - Prateek: yes, this one is essentially frozen now
    - W2
        - Tony: posted last night, in same email as W1
          < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
            200310/msg00188.html >
    - W5
        - Tony: posted last night, in same email as W1 & W2
          < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
            200310/msg00188.html >
    - W5a
        - RLBob: will get one done specifically on WebDAV
        - will see about others
        - Frederick: this is in addition to the LECP stuff?
        - Prateek: yes
    - W3
        - Scott: thinks other people were to submit for A3.1, rather
          than Jahan
        - actually was supposed to submit Shib material
        - Prateek: can provide for this as well
        - Jahan: didn't understand A3.2
        - not sure if there is anything to be written
        - Prateek: maybe just a 4-line write up of how metadata is to
          be used
    - W17 
        - Tim: working on A17.1
    - W15 
        - RLBob: has already sent an outline for A15.1
          < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
            200310/msg00194.html >
        - is a container for more specific use cases, which others have
          indicated they have material for
        - those people can post directly, or contact RLBob
    - W28a
        - being worked on
    - W28d
        - RLBob: working on it
        - had also characterized attribute naming convention as a work
          item
        - intends to respin as a use case
        - Prateek: will amend list for that
- Prateek: other use cases?
    - we have a stated intent of freezing the list today
    - would like to set a date for publishing docs on these items
    - suggests 4 Nov
    - discussion of how we will manage process of prioritization &
      reduction
        - when is cutoff for dev of these use case scenarios?
        - need that so chairs can publish summaries, say on 7 Nov
        - Rob: makes sense
        - Prateek: want to go to vote on 11 Nov, so that would give a
          day or two for people to review
        - so if summaries are to come out 7 Nov, cutoff for scenarios 
          should be 4 Nov
        - Rob: sounds right, but will be tight
        - Proposal: all use case scenarios be completed by EOD 4 Nov,
          Chairs will provide summary of all scenarios by EOD 7 Nov,
          and vote will be taken on which scenarios will be in v2.0
          on 11 Nov
        - no objections
    - Prateek: so, how to handle 11 Nov vote?
        - Eve: expects that we will accept the general use cases for
          each work item, but some of the more esoteric use cases may
          not make the cut
        - ??: question of inter-dependencies
        - Hal: the decision to accept use cases may be dependent on
          having a proposal
        - Eve: concerned that, based on hallway talk at F2F, many do
          not understand some of these use cases
        - if true, would lead back to acceptance of general items over
          esoteric items
        - Rob: but we don't want to block solution of esoteric items
        - Prateek: so how would vote be conducted?
        - Eve: what was methodology of use case subcommittee way back?
        - Hal: don't remember, but was captured in the output doc
        - Eve: wants everyone to look at all of them, and derive their
          priorities
        - could do email voting
        - Prateek: concerned about people voting to accept everything, 
          and v2.0 not meeting its dates
        - Eve: doesn't expect that to happen
        - RLBob: doesn't preclude revising direction later, if things
          can't all be completed
        - Proposal: straight thumbs up/down vote
        - no objections
        - RLBob: could be distinctions of what is in SAML v2.0 versus
          what are ancillary docs produced by the SSTC
        - Hal: non-normative docs can be published at any time, and
          don't need to go beyond committee draft
        - but normative docs should go as a bundle through the OASIS
          standardization process, to the degree possible
        - RLBob: example of SAML SASL mech, could be on separate timeline

- Scott: trying to drive to conclusion matter discussed in recent post
  regarding name ID
  < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
    200310/msg00187.html >
    - thinks this is linchpin for many other work items
    - related to Irving's recent comments
    - not sure if people have had time to review email
    - question of whether we will generally derive new types to express
      new data
    - Irving: not religious about direction here
    - would like us to say "classification" when that's what we mean, 
      rather than alternatives like "format"
    - RLBob: need to provide examples to help clarify
    - Eve: thinks many of the names used are not as helpful as they 
      could be
    - if we move away from backwards compat, which is fair to do, we
      can improve that
    - prefers using choice groups for ourselves and leave type 
      substitution for use by outside parties to extend our work
    - Scott: we could move away from name id URIs, in favor of new
      individual elements
    - allows different attribute relationships as well
    - [more discussion, lots of trade offs]
    - Scott: thinks what was done originally works out in the end to be
      as good as any other option
    - Eve: sounds like we've come full circle, and current approach is
      pretty effective
    - could add a name identifier abstract time for additional 
      flexibility
    - Eve: will add an issue for 'any attribute' and 'any element'
    - Scott: will produce semi-final draft based on this discussion
