Additional discussion was suggested to reach consensus on this as a new work item.

7. Several wok items have been suggested during the TC calls. We had discussed a US Realm and International XSPA profiles. We have heard that the passing policies between organizations would be important. We have to publish a schema referenced by the XACML and SAML profiles. This would be a time for suggestions and champions to take up new work items.
