d) Active issues
i066 - SecurityPolicy use cases
Document is useful as a companion to the spec to be read as non-normative aid to understanding SP. The Abstract and Introduction don’t accurately reflect this purpose. Rich will address this in the next version of the document.
i081 - Provide policy statements and associated URIs that can be referenced from wsp:PolicyReference statements
Lot's of discussion on this one. Key points below.
Well-known URIs may be useful in some contexts.
Not clear whether the work is appropriate for the SX TC, which is defining a framework. Perhaps more appropriately done elsewhere as a profile.
Raises interoperability concerns: Framework implementations will be able to process the full policy associated with the URI, but may or may not support the shorthand URI. Implementations would need to advertise policy alternatives for both the full policy
and the URI in order to ensure intersection. What is the practical benefit of the URI in that case?
Concerns expressed the shorthand URIs may complicate policy framework implementations.
Request made for additional time to consider the implications of URIs on policy framework implementations.
Chairs requested that members consider the implications and be prepared to close the issue on the next call.
f) Pending issues
i090 - Description of Strict Formatting seems wrong for EncryptedKey
i114 - Additional algorithm properties, assertions and references needed
i115 - Universal Encryption of UsernameToken (as specified by Appendix D, d.4, 3.) seems wrong
i116 - Is Appendix D Normative?
i117 - Element or Content Encryption on SignedEncryptedSupportingTokens Assertion
All of the above change status to "review". Updates available for review at:
Doc format, no change bars:

4 ) Next steps.
All PR comments against SC/Trust are editorial and pending
Chris/Kelvin - Formal response to PR issues
One week to review updates. After review period TC chairs ask OASIS staff to start a committee spec and submission vote
Chris/Kelvin to start work on submission form and solicit information as needed from members via the SX email list.
SC/Trust namespaces will not change
5) SP interop
Three of four participants pass all round 1 and round 2 tests. One participant is delayed and not likely to be ready soon.
Next Steps: Close down open issues, follow up with CD vote.
6 ) WS-Policy update
WS-Policy is in last call.
As soon as W3C document URIs are available Paul Cotton will forward the documents to the SX TC list.
