II. Administrivia

  Ballot Details: 2 Day October F2F in Washington, DC 
   https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/xacml/ballot.php?id=2501

  hal: above ballot was to see if we had enough interest to have an
    an official tc mtg in oct. Alternative would be 1-2 day mtg
    that was not official tc: would have presentation of reqts,
    and try to produce dlp doc that could be presented as profile
    usable for these use cases.

  john: another version of the profile is coming which has more meat.
    should be within day or two.

   Multiple decision result of type xpathExpression 
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/201308/maillist.html
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/201309/msg00001.html

      steven: attr selector picks leaf nodes; if more processing w
	more nodes, like hierarchical we don't have method to process.

      rich: suggests defining "undefined attrs" that trigger attr
	searches that can use the req ctx and an external provider
	to do any necessary complex processing and just return
	the result as a value of the undefined attr.

      steven: that's a 3rd approach


 items carried over as reminders to those interested:

  v3.0 Errata link
   https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/XacmlErrata

     hal: would need volunteer to pull together errata doc;
	no volunteers at the moment, no urgency for now.

III. Issues

  Policy Distribution: Request to consider standardizing": richard hill:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00039.html
   david: revisit Ray's proposed "PAP API"
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00041.html
   ray: replies:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00042.html
   richard: are use cases needed?
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00043.html
   jan: OGC (GeoXacml?) has spec/prototype that will go public soon:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00044.html
   hal: comments and pointers to prev work:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00045.html

  richard: from wiki sounds like pap is place for admin of these
	use cases. also interested in pushing pulling policies,
	how to handle non-repudiation issues when policies rcvd
	from vendors

  hal: recipient should ensure policy supplier is trusted; we have
	scheme w saml envelope; primary use case: any pdp has to
	have a way to get ahold of policies that it is supposed
	to be evaluating.

	"moving stuff around" is not particularly interesting, but
	what is interesting is what policies are supposed to be
	in force, etc. Is it good enough for pdp to pull policies,
	w/o push: is that sufficient?

  danny: has pull model, but there is notification for changes.

  rich: not really pure pull if notifications are involved.

  danny: polling model; more efficient approaches avail for special cases;

  hal: model is pap pdp model:

  danny: policy id plus version is real identity of policy; if version
	not spec'd system needs means to determine.


 carried over issues:

  Attributes from other Categories
   https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00018.html
   ForAny
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00032.html

   steven: forany is really procedural vs declarative discussion
	which new thread was trying to focus.


  Resource Location
   https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201308/msg00022.html

    hal: city or building;
    john: took jan's advice and took attr name etc from geoxacml.


  Multiple subjects in single req:
    ex sender and recipient and aligning w specific attrs;

    hal: rich has been trying to popularize term "entity" and
	category is a label naming the entity type, which
	conceptually is a little easier to understand where
	attrs should be placed in request.
