Unanimously approved.

3. Discussion

Mike: Considering the efforts in the IHE and elsewhere, an update to the XSPA SAML profile seems to be useful at this point.

Mohammad: We still have the drafts and we can continue from there. I will post the draft from back in August. 

Mike moved to restore updating the SAML profile. Unanimously approved.

Mohammad: The other potential work item is a profile for trust framework attributes. We can consider it either as part of the SAML profile or a separate profile.

Mike and Mohammad gave an introduction and background on the trust framework and trust attributes.

Mike: Since the group is small we should seek more participation for this work.

Kathleen: Can seek participation from ONC and FHA.

Mohammad: Another possibility is to develop a draft and move it to the XACML or SAML TC for approval and seek broader participation and comments.

Kel: The XDI TC is also relevant.

Mike: Does this fit in our charter?

Mohammad: As long as we stay within the healthcare applications it is in our charter.

Mike: It is better to have a generic trust framework first and develop a healthcare profile for that.

Mohammad: It can also be done in a bottom-up fashion by starting with the healthcare-specific profile.

Kathleen: We can seek XACML and SAML TC opinion on this.

Mike: Also ANSI INCITS.

Mike moved to develop a "scope statement" for a possible project on trust frameworks and a healthcare specific profile.

Kathleen suggested adding the outreach to XACML and SAML committee and also considering a list of other related work by other SDOs.

Kel: Also reach out to the privacy-by-design community.

Motion approved unanimously.

The TC agreed to meet again in the first week of February 2014.

Meeting adjourned at 1:40 ET.
