3. Issues
  Unicode Character Normalization
  There is general agreement to adopt Erik's proposal to leverage the
  W3 specification:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-charmod-norm-20051027/

  Unicode Codepoint Collation
  There is general agreement to use Unicode Codepoint Collation for
  character/string comparison using mechanisms defined by XPath:
  http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint

  Combining Algorithm Text
  Erik posted the updated verbiage for the combining algorithms to
  the list. The question was raised if new combiner identifiers should
  be added for clarity of changes in behavior. Hal and Erik suggested
  that the v2 be left as is and v3 combining logic be updated without
  changing identifiers since it is extremely unlikely that
  Indeterminate is being used as an intended outcome for access control
  by the Policy Writer. The chair has asked that the TC be prepared to
  vote on this issue at the next meeting.

  Case Conversion
  Erik posted a proposal to reference XQuery using the Unicode 3.2.0
  standard. There is general agreement by the TC that this is a good
  approach and the TC should make use of the latest version of the
  Unicode specification.

  Policy Reference Evaluation
  The TC had general agreement to follow the text posted to the list
  by Erik.

  #66 - MIssing Attributes
  Erik outlined his proposal for taking an alternate approach to how
  to solve "underspecified" attribute.  Erik and Rich will add details
  to the text to generate a more concrete proposal. Hal suggested
  that WS-XACML work has applicability to this solution.

  Target Namespace Attribute
  There is general agreement that V3 will drop the check on:
  urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:2.0:resource:target-namespace

  V3 Functionality
  There is general agreement that the scope of features in the Core
  of V3 will be frozen by the next TC meeting. Work on the Core will
  be limited to resolving the Issues outlined at the next meeting.

  Rich proposed that the TC review the changes and thinking behind V3.
  He will post to the list to start a thread on the subject.
