    XACML Conference Call

    Minutes of Meeting

     

    Summary

    We reviewed the action items from last week and then discussed the progress being made in the policy model subcommittee. A lot of issues are being discussed but there has not been a clear tracking of issues and their resolution which is hampering progress. The subcommittee is also putting together use/test cases for the policy model. It is more likely the policy model will not be complete until the end of January. We agreed upon having the next Face to Face at the LAX Hilton on 1/23-1/24. The next conference call will not be until January 10th because of the holidays.

     

    Action Items

    1.      Hal agreed to ask Karl best to issue a call for intellectual property claims to the oasis membership list.

    2.      Bill and Gil agreed to collaborate on exploring this subject (DSLM and ldap profile), and reporting back to the technical committee.

    3.      Submit Policy Model Test Cases to list by Friday for discussion at Monday’s Policy Model Subcommittee meeting.

    4.      Carlisle will contact Pierangela and ask her to clarify and publish open issues along with their champion.

    5.      Ken will incorporate the issues from the Policy Model subcommittee into the general issues document and publish regularly to website

    6.      Carlisle to update his statement on successfully using XACML to include the clarification and repost to the list and website.

    7.      Begin flagging issues for Security and Privacy Considerations (Joe?)

    8.      Bill to send reservation information to Carlisle and Carlisle to post announcement of F2F to list.

    7:12 status report of policy model meeting

    Simon – discussed the proposal to submit use cases from which we’ll try to develop example schemas. Discussed issue of how to merge policies. Discussed potential use cases like java security use case

     

    Carlisle – are we making progress towards schedule. Are there major issues?

     

    Hal – were a number of people on call for first time. Think still at stage of sorting out basic concepts.

     

    Ken – are use cases different from what we developed before?

     

    Tim – prefer to use the term test cases

     

    Carlisle – more explicit and turn them into actual test cases in actual syntax. Use to determine what syntax is most appropriate

     

    Bill – test cases or model candidates

     

    Carlisle – will accompany the model and when pick syntax for model, these will become conformance test cases.

     

    Tim submitted role hierarchy, simon submitted some stuff in tim’s appendix and sekhar and anne were to do java applets and pulling policies from different locations and how they will be composed and merged.

     

    Simon – might submit unix file system semantics test case

     

    Michaharu – xml document test case

     

    Hal – bill submitted email filtering with implied semantics

     

    7:25 overall schedule

    Draft policy model by december 14

     

    Hal – have a working glossary that will continue to evolve

     

    Carlisle – sounding like end of january?

    Tim – think realistic at the earliest

    Carlisle – probably puts march 1st deadline in jeaporady.

    Tim – in my mind i don’t have a clear roadmap from here to submission. What milestones are there and are we making progress

    Carlisle – thought they would show up in proposed table of contents

    Tim – have not carved up into tasks that we understand the sense of and know people are working on.

     

    Sekhar – got a sense of the same. Pm subcommittee issues are being brought to the table but are left open and not being discussed.

     

    Pierangela is not circulating issues list to the committee

     

    Ken – work with pierangela to better identify issues in pm

    Message from

     

    Simon – propose ask pierangela to be more explicit and publish this list

     

    Ken – maintain overall list and pierangela feed issues to me and i publish to whole tc.

     

    Simon – subcommittee leader must maintain their own list.

     

    Hal- reluctance to write down issues because people don’t understand them well enough yet.

     

    Tim – no champion that wants to defend something with specific concrete examples. In saml – every issue must have a champion and a clear proposal for a solution.  But saml is at a late stage right now.

     

    Carlisle – action to myself to contact pierangela and ask her to be more specific and issues with champion and known solution. Publish to subc and get to ken and ken to publish regularly to tc list and website.

     

    Tim – perhaps it should form the basis of the policy model subc agenda.

     

    7:42 – security and privacy considerations

    Carlisle – joe was to chair committee but no activity

    Hal – not a problem at this point. Biggest issue is various implications of negative statements, the various flavors and implications of those.

     

    Ken – flag those in the issues list

     

    Carlisle – some environments policy will need to be authenticated, confidentiality issues, etc. Joe should flag those

     

    Tim – should i paste in the raw issues into 0.8?

     

    Hal – suggest keep it separate. Once document at 75% will want a list of document issues – what is needed to finish it. Suggest putting in tentative subheadings

     

    7:47 carlisle’s proposed text

    Carlisle – one question raised which was answered.

    Hal – suggest incorporate the clarification

    Carlisle – will revise it to include clarification and have it posted to the website.

    Hal – suggest add paragraph that implementations that may have internal represenations that are proprietary and xacml is an exchange format

     

    7:49 f2f meeting

    Carlisle – bill proposal 1/23,1/24 at la hilton at lax airport. Several said location and time were fine.

    Hal – motion we agree to have the f2f at that location and time

    Voted and accepted.

    Bill – post information to list on how to make reservations.

    Hal – please post a separate message to alert people

    Bill will send information to carlisle and he will post it.

     

    7:53 when is the appropriate time for next call

    Ken – suggest pm subc move meeting 1st week of jan to the 3rd (thurs)

    Carlisle – next meeting will be on jan 10th

     

    7:56 adjourn
