    Subject: New delegation draft


    All,
    
    I have uploaded draft 10 of the delegation profile. The most important
    change is that I have added reduction of deny by making the effect part
    of the situation.
    
    I have not made the target schema open since Daniel is going to do that.
    
    I was also thinking about adding a new section for the upcoming SAML
    profile, but since there was no agreement on what it should contain
    during the last meeting, I am going to wait. It would be nice if we
    could agree on this soon: Should additional policies and attribute
    assertions be included in the request context or the SAML profile?
    During the F2F the agreement of the participants was to add them to the
    SAML profile (see the minutes of day 3, issue #5), but Frank recently
    suggested the request context and there was no agreement on this during
    the last meeting. As soon as this is decided, I will change the
    documents appropriately.
    
    I did not make the choice between historic/current issuer attribute
    models part of the PolicySet schema since it is supposed to be a PDP
    global setting. It is mentioned in the normative section though.
    
    A small note: in this new draft we support reduction of deny at the
    access level but not at the administrative level. At the administrative
    level we do not support issuing of policies that evaluate to deny.
    However, a trusted policy can still evaluate to deny at any level. I
    don't think that is a problem and might even be a desirable feature, but
    give it a thought. There is a small inconsistency in that we allow
    negative administrative policies by the trusted issuer but not by
    "normal" issuers.
    
    Regards,
    Erik
