RE: [xacml] Duplicate Organization Attribute in EC-US and IPC Profiles

["Sinnema, Remon" <remon.sinnema@emc.com>]

All,

We could set up a public attribute registry, like the one IANA maintains for media types:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html

We could even create a registry at IANA itself:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226#section-4


Thanks,
Ray
