    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200708/msg00004.html

2  Administrivia

    a. Workshop on SAML & XACML Given at GeoWeb 2007 in Vancouver
       (SAML TC list)

       Hal was not present to report on this.

    b. Test Status Update - Summary List [Approvals, Publication]
       (xacml-demo-tech list)

       The general consensus of the TC was that a summary report
       of the interop should be written for public consumption,
       and not publish the detailed vendor results.  The summary
       should include a description of the scenarios tested, the
       general results, and lessons learned.

       ACTION: Bill will check with OASIS on what the TC can and should do.
       ACTION: Rich will draft a summary based on message from OASIS.

    c. SAML 2.0 Profile of XACML, Version 2, WD 5 uploaded
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00021.html

       Anne described changes from WD4 - WD5.  She will post a
       summary of the changes.

       She recommends use of this profile for any future XACML
       interoperability demonstrations: XACML 3.0-specific
       sections are clearly identified, and the rest is bug fixes,
       better explanations, and examples based on what we have
       learned from trying to use the existing standard version of
       the profile.

       A new editor is needed for this Working Draft.

    c. Web Services Profile of XACML (WS-XACML) Version 1.0, WD 9
       uploaded
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00015.html
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00018.html

       Anne reported on the changes in this new draft, which are
       summarized in msg00018.html above.  This draft closes all
       open issues.

       A new editor is needed for this Working Draft.

    d. access_control-xacml-2.0-core-spec-os-errata.doc uploaded
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00024.html

       Erik posted an update to the XACML 2.0 Core errata document
       including all errata fixes that have also been incorporated
       into the XACML 3.0 Core specification draft.

    e. New XACML References and Products document V1.83
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00025.html

       Anne reported on the new version of the XACML References
       and Products document.  This includes a large number of new
       papers and some new vendors and deployments.  XACML
       continues to be a hot topic of academic study.

       A new editor is needed for this document.

       The previous version - V1.73 - is located at
       http://docs.oasis-open.org/xacml/references/xacmlRefsV1.73.html
       for those who want to do a diff.

4  Issues Review
    http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/IssuesList

    #69: location of XACML 2.0 schema files
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200707/msg00019.html

    This was just a clarification of why the schema reference
    problem occurred, and why the "workaround" of including the
    XACML 2.0 schemas in two different locations was needed.

    The following issues pending review will be up for approval at
    the next meeting:

    32. ADMIN:Exception handling

5  IHE healthcare XACML interop interest

    David Staggs reported that Integrating Healthcare Environments
    (IHE) is interested in a healthcare interop using XACML.  IHE
    runs these under the auspices of the Healthcare Information
    and Management Systems Society (HIMSS).  IHE takes Health
    Level 7 (HL7 - an international healthcare standards
    organization) scenarios, implements them, creates a profile,
    and demonstrates interoperability.  IHE is interested in an
    XACML interop similar to the Burton interop, but also
    including healthcare-related privacy cases.  IHE needs a
    proposal from the XACML TC by October.  The interop profiles
    are frequently published by the Health Information Technology
    Standards Panel (HITSP), a panel developed by the U.S. Dept of
    Health and Human Services as U.S. govt. standards.  IHE
    requires at least two vendors to participate.

    Bill reported that OASIS is interested in promoting these
    events.  He will start the conversation with OASIS
    administration.

    ACTION: Bill - notify OASIS of IHE's interest.

The meeting adjourned at 10:30am Eastern Time.
