Here is a strawman TC Charter. Please respond with your comments.
After we agree on the charter, we can craft a charter para.
==============================================================
Product of TC
XACML TC will define a core XML schema for representing
entitlement policies, also called XACML
Policy Target
The target of a policy (hereafter referred to as "subject") can be any
object
that can be referenced in XML.
Protocols and bindings
XACML TC will define new protocols or identify bindings
to existing protocols (e.g., XPath, CORBA CSIv2) intended as means of
accessing and communicating the policies
Scope
XACML is expected to address fine grained control of
authorized activities, the effect of characteristics of
the access requestor, the authorization protocol over
which the request is made, authorization based on classes
of activities, and content introspection (i.e. authorization
based on both the requestor and potentially attribute
values within the subject where the values of
the attributes may not be known to the policy writer)
Extensibility
XACML core schema is extensible for as yet unknown features
Interoperability
XACML TC will define interoperability of XACML core schema
with other standards
