Subject: RE: Issue Group 1 - SSO - Straw Ballot


Hi Darren,
Thanks for this - you've obviously done a lot of work.

In the text you have the following.

I request that this requirement be rephrased as:

<rephrase>
[R-Anonymity] [OSSML] will allow assertions to be made about anonymous
principals, where "anonymous" means that an assertion about a
principal does not include an attribute uniquely identifying the
principal (ex: user name, distinguished name, etc.).
</rephrase>

The reason for this, is that I believe it is important to make sure
what we mean by anonymous is not lost. In my opinion, other
definitions of anonymous, make this requirement unworkable.

Thanks and regards,
Nigel.
