> 3.  Interop/F2F logistics update
>

- Chris: decided on San Fran on last call
- looking at downtown Hyatt
- Mon (9 Jun) noon to Thurs (12 Jun) noon
- we'll know more in a day or two
- will send out info when available
- trying to make sure we have net access

  can book flights now
- if anyone has food allergies/requirements, send to Chris
- Kelvin: will update Kavi calendar with info when available

> 
> 4. Interop scenarios updates  [Hal]
>

- Hal: posted new version last night
- changes were slight
- there was an issue with SOAP:mustUnderstand equaling 1 vs. true in
  SOAP 1.1
- decided it's preferable to leave keyUsage out entirely
- however, some CAs insist on it
- a few more cut & paste errors have been found and will be fixed
- need suggestions on error reporting
- this is version 03, and was only posted to mail list
- Kelvin: will post to Kavi
- Hal: interested in input on whether and how to specify errors
- there were 2 other items, which will result in changes to core spec,
  which will be reflected shortly
- there didn't seem to be any interest in his multi-party encryption
- there were some subtleties around encrypting passwords
- fairly stable
- Chris: will gen a couple certs and send to list
- Hal: there was in issue for Chris on providing additional schema ****
- Chris: did forget application schema, will send out shortly
- Kelvin: there were cases where "XX" was in the absolute URIs
- Chris: those have been changed, all will reflect 2003/06
- Hal: who is bringing network hardware, DNS, etc for the interop?
- Chris: it is his goal to provide lots of that

> 
> 5. Any editorial updates/document status [Editors]
>

- Phill: revised X509 draft quite substantially, accounting for Tim's
  issues
- in orig doc, it just said 'put X509 cert in'
- now can put in PKCS 7 blobs
- also, if you encrypt the message, you don't need to send the entire
  cert to validate the key, can just send issuer and serial num of key
- several cosmetic changes
- more info in introduction
- main changes are to section 3.3, specifying 3 ways of identifying
  cert
- problem with identifying a cert path
- PKIPath is not a standard yet, & no info on when it will
- not widely supported
- Ron: thought that it was an official part of X509 v4
- Tony: yes, we validated it before
- Phill: then I'll remove PKCS7
- Chris: why remove PKCS7?
- Phill: doesn't do what we want to do
- allows for any order, and for more certs than are in a path
- has an additional, unnecessary signature
- PhilG [partially disagrees/agrees]
- direction is to allow both, but recommend PKIPath
- Phill: for identifying cert by reference, this is logically a STR,
  but couldn't get syntax to work
    - e.g., for sending an encrypted message, just need to reference
      the cert
    - Chris: would have expected to have an encrypted key inside the
      Security header, and would have keyInfo within that encrypted key
    - [more discussion, including key identifiers]
    - if there is a SKID (security key identifier) present in the cert,
      you may use that, otherwise use the issuer and serial number
    - Ron: asking about usecase, which is when we're not sending the
      cert
    - Chris: thinks what's in 3.3.3 is fine, but need to also specify
      what it means for this token type if you specify a key identifier
    - proposes if people have ideas, send them to Phill, and Phill can
      produce another draft for discussion

> 
> 6. Discussion of open issues, review latest issues list
>

- Kelvin: hasn't seen an update from John
- can continue on last call's issues list
  < http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200305/msg00021.html >
- don't recall where we ended
- Chris: starting at top
    - 30: 
        - Chris: supposed to have discussion with editors
        - Hal: if people take a look at core-12, lines 168-174, he's
          satisfied with these
        - Chris: thinks we need to get these into all docs
        - Jerry: suggests all profiles refer to this rather than
          duplicating it
        - Chris: great idea
        - [ACTION] Editors to reference text from core-12, lines 168-
          174, in all docs
        - PENDING
    - 31:
        - Kelvin: Karl Best is attempting to resolve them within 1-2
          months
        - still open
    - 46:
        - Hal has sent mail to list
        - CLOSED
    - 62:
        - Ron: thinks he did this
        - proposal was to include another attribute on STR to identify
          profile & version, using URNs
        - Chris: doesn't remember proposal, were there responses?
        - Ron: Tim commented that he thought it covered the necessary
          cases
          < http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200304/
            msg00044.html >
        - Chris: everyone should look at this & we'll discuss it on 
          next call
    - 67:
        - Hal: proposed bunch of different semantics
          < http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wss/200305/
            msg00008.html >
    - 69: 
        - we've made progress already today
        - [ACTION] All profile editors to explain how key identifier is
          used for that token type, if at all
        - PENDING
        - Hal: interesting, how would that apply to Kerberos?
        - Chris: for that case, explanation could be to not use them
    - 70: 
        - Eric: when should a processor decide when it doesn't
          understand a security header?
        - Chris: are there objections to interpreting a mustUnderstand
          on the Security header as applying to all subelements?
        - Jerry: that seems overly strong, such as when I only need to
          understand enough to authenticate the message
        - Chris: mustUnderstand is described to require receiver to 
          understand enough to carry out its semantics, and if authN is
          the extent of your semantics, then that fits
        - Irving: good example is a mustUnderstand on a Security header
          that includes a SAML token, which has advice
        - advice may be ignored, so the mustUnderstand shouldn't 
          necessarily propagate to sub elements
        - Chris: try this - mustUnderstand applies to direct child
          elements
        - [discussion]
        - could just require receiver to abide by the standard
        - Chris: suggests starting a thread of discussion on list
        - [ACTION] Eric will start discussion thread on AI-70
    - 71: 
        - Hal: will get something out shortly on that
    - 72: 
        - Hal: timestamp trace seems ill-conceived
        - if people's clocks are synch'ed, everything's fine
        - if they're not, can't distinguish latency from skew
        - Chris: there are a number of uses beyond this
        - Kelvin: would examples help
        - Hal: yes
        - [ACTION] Hal to start discussion thread on AI-72
    - 73:
        - Tony: nothing added to docs on this yet
        - Jerry: more than just clarification, we need to decide what
          can go in there
        - originally wanted to allow anything in here that could go
          under the Security header, but that wasn't well received
        - [ACTION] Editors to make a proposal for AI-73
    - 74: 
        - [ACTION] Hal to propose text for AI-74
    - 75: 
        - Jerry: had sent a msg to list, can send another
    - 76-79:
        - have all been marked PENDING
        - Tim: will have a chance to review in beginning of June
        - Phill: will consult with Carlisle
    - 80:
        - Phill: incorporated into latest draft
        - PENDING
    - 81:
        - can be CLOSED
    - 82:
        - Kelvin: Tony did a good first pass
        - need to now double check with XML Encrypt & Signature have
          closed
        - leave open
    - 84: 
        - Chris: saw Hal's mail, and was fine
        - [ACTION] Hal to propose text for AI-84
    - 86: 
        - Chris: with interop activity, hasn't read thoroughly
        - proposes we leave it open
    - 87: 
        - still open
        - Kelvin: is there an owner for this?
        - Chris: no
        - 
    - 88: (new) chairs to wrap up release dates
        - Kelvin: hoping to get with Chris and post proposal
        - people may post mail stating their view of critical dates
    - new: binary token & xml token types being abstract (Don)
        - stays open
    - new: interop spec uses mustUnderstand=true rather than =1
        - Hal: fixed in draft 3
    - new: multiple recipient email (Hal)
        - Hal: not a separate issue, part of the order of decryption
        - no one commented, so if you want to do it, you're on your own
        - CLOSED
        - Kelvin: should go into issues list for tracking
    - new: complaint with interop example 2
        - Hal: fixed in latest draft
        - CLOSED
