pm: any comments on the note from the .nz govt message?

em: do they want the profile listed on our web page (ie registered?)

sc: what's there is not valid, its missing subjectConf if it's the doc
I'm 
thinking of

hl: their web page lists an email link, thinks feedback shd be sent
there, but 
shd also copy security-services@ of course

em: anyone who can find time should of course comment

rlbob: talked with a different .nz govt person who's working on a diff 
deployment activity taking place in a diff section of govt, fwiw

sc: i may be confusing this with someone else... the other one had 3
prototype 
use cases / profiles.... this one is much longer

pm: yes, thinks this is sep from one you're thinking of...

[AI] pm: i'll take action to send Colin a msg to ask wrt best place for
feedback

hl: the doc of particular interest is "security assertion messaging
standard"

em: there's one outstanding error am aware of, will fix next time have
chance 
to update doc

[jahan has sent a -34 to the list as of yesterday.]

em: am caught up on errata decisions pre -34, don't know if there's
anything 
"open" right now, please let her know in case....

it likely needs to be updated to close those items we closed at the last

meeting.... em will look at it


hl: [recounts the new eratta process]

em: [notes changes that could be made to bring errata doc in line with
stds]

hl: notes that bringing the doc into line with the std process will take
some 
work - mostly deletion


hl: will take a look at current doc and asses how close it is to the new
std 
process

[unofficial AI :) ]


abbie barbir (ab): notes that we will need to submit a corrigdenum to
the ITU 
to keep the ITU version up-to-date

pm: is there an objection to promoting these docs to CD status?

[no objections]


pm: when will we be ready to send these out to public review?


hl: notes that we have a bunch of pub reviews either happening or will
happen

sc: believes that there haven't been changes to these docs since they
went CD 
other than minor editorial


tom scavo(ts): believes there is an issue, believes it can be fixed
(discussion 
is on the list)

sc: disagrees (response is on the list), belives the present item in
spec 
should remain as a SHOULD, not be a MUST as a TS suggests


pm: can bundle the x509 doc with these three?


sc: would prefer not. x509 profile is not as much done.  really wants to
just 
put these three to bed.


[discussion on what's in review or will need to]


hl: doesn't want six pub reviews btwn now and xmas


[more discussion]


sc:  moves that above specs go to 15day pub review

jh: seconds


pm:  hearing no objs, motion passes



sc: do we hold some sort of vote after pub review?


hl: nope, cycle is ..... [answers sc's question]


[em and sc discuss who gets docs ready for pub review]


em: will have time wed-Fri this week to do editing


pm: once you upload the docs, will send note to mary mcrae asking for
15day pub 
review

jm: there's some item outstanding on list wrt post profile

sc: it was a discussion on a call.... is it P52 ?

jm: so already captured?

sc,em: yes, that's closed

jm: so there's a couple of items i haven't yet captured, there's links
in the 
agenda, (above) will do so


jm: will add them to doc, note that they were pretty much accepted on
this call...


ts: note that in the email above, the change is actually changing
saml:1.0 to

jm,sc: confirmed

verview-20-draft-09.pdf 



[discussion of highlighted text in section 4.4.2 line 951]


sc: would like to have 4.4 be about estab 'federated identity' -- its
this 
definition of federation that makes things hard.

em: we have "identity federation" and "federated identity" meaning two
diff things

sc: might be that it should be discussed way up in the saml use cases
section

[sc: personally believes in an expansive definition of federation -- ie
attr 
exchange also is ident federation. sec 2.3 mentions this, lines 244-257]



em: line 252 acks the attr-based ident exchange, but is short shrift,
maybe we 
can expand the concept there?

[discussing changes to sections 2.2 & 2.3 to clarify things]

pm: wonders what they are differentiating here?

em: explains....   so RobP has added these sections, it's new text


sc: the use case its capturing is web sso, and thinks the guts are
attr-based 
authz -- so any identifier could be transient thus meaningless, ie its a

session descriptor/name/ident (need one for sgl logout)


sc: notes that NameIDs are treated specially, and attrs arent, this
perhaps 
needs to be mentioned


pm: so idea is that 4.4.4 could pick up some disc of attrs...

sc: yes,  but need to look at it


em: can remove 4.4.5 if that's what we want to do?  can scott look at
it?

sc: yes


em: will take a look  at section 2


ak: "federation" - folks use that to mean COTs too....  so a transient
nameid, 
is useful


[discussion of various defns of "federation"...]


sc: so tech overview shouldn't be exhaustive

em: that's what rob did, he removed a bunch of stuff


sc: is suggesting that getting rid of 4.4.5 would simplify things...

pm: include the sense of it in 4.4.4?

sc: could do that.... this is an overview, don't have to deal with all
possible 
use cases in this doc...


hl:  if we want to adopt a broad sense of the word federation we can
expound on 
it early in the doc and set our defn for its use in this doc...


em: notes that there is a nice sec on attr-based authz in the exec
overview doc

[discussion abt whether ought to take sec from exec overview and use in
tech 
overview....]

[discussion of what to do with sec 4.5....]



[AI] pm will followup and come up with some proposed text and send it to
the 
list for feedback, then eve can incorp the results of the disc. will be 
entitled "authz based on attributes"


sc: suggests "use of attributes" -- we've showed the flows, here's what
you put 
"inside" 'em.


em: would like to see actual example messages, some comments she's
hearing is 
"i just want to see exp messages - show me the code..."


pm: so in summary the chairs call for TC folk to read the tech overview
draft 
and comment to the list...
