[xacml] IMPORTANT: NOVEMBER 7 VOTE...

Title: IMPORTANT: NOVEMBER 7 VOTE...

Hi,

Thanks, Anne, for summarizing and tabulating our current status.  I agree; it looks like we will have no problem getting 2/3 of the voting members present for the TC call this Thursday.  As long as we have no more than 1/4 objecting (i.e., no more than three objections), we can approve XACML as a Committee Specification on that call.  This will be a role-call vote.

But, Tim and Simon need to know what to put in the spec with respect to some of the issues Anne has listed. especially the "Subjects" issue highlighted below.  Some have already stated a preference for one of the two resolutions to that issue; others should weigh-in by the end of today.  Majority (of all the opinions expressed) wins and the spec will be sent to the list sometime tomorrow.

Carlisle.

The current list of Voting Members from the XACML TC Web Page,
along with current indications of whether people plan to attend
are:

    Voting Members
    =======================================
Y   Ken Yagen,                   Crosslogix
Y   Daniel Engovatov,            Crosslogix
    Hal Lockhart,                Entegrity
Y   Carlisle Adams,              Entrust
Y   Tim Moses,                   Entrust
Y   Don Flinn,                   Hitachi
Y   Konstantin Beznosov,         Hitachi
Y   Michiharu Kudoh,             IBM
    Steve Anderson,              OpenNetwork
    Simon Godik,                 Overxeer
Y   Bill Parducci,               Overxeer
Y   Polar Humenn,                Self
    Suresh Damodaran,            Sterling Commerce
Y   Anne Anderson,               Sun Microsystems
N/A Piras Vilandai Thiyatarajan, Sun Microsystems
Y   Gerald Brose,                Xtradyne

Piras resigned, so he should not be counted.  Simon and Hal
probably just have not had a chance to respond yet - I can't
imagine they would not be on this call :-)

But, even without Simon and Hal, we have 11 out of 15 members who
have positively indicated that they WILL be present.  So unless
we get some unexpected NO votes, I think we could vote for
Committee Specification on 7 November as long as we can resolve
the remaining issues in time for Simon and Tim to issue the
"Final Draft" by close of business on Wednesday.

Attached is a new Change Requests list, containing only the
unresolved Change Requests.  A couple of these we probably don't
have to resolve before public review.  But I want everyone to be
aware of what remains.

In particular, could people respond to the two proposed
resolutions to "0162: [Polar] [Schema/Text Change] Subjects",
since that is the immediate sticking point.

Anne
