    II. Postings and Proposal Review
    
       Document Conventions
       Anne reviewed her work with Erik and Oasis to distill a set of
       practical guidelines for the TC.
    
       Delegation Draft 14
       Erik reviewed the changes in Draft. Delegation now uses Attribute
       Categories. This has simplified the specification considerably. The
       examples need to be updated once the disjunctive matching issue has
       been resolved in the Attribute Category proposal.
    
       Daniel discussed options on how to address matching and solicited
       feedback from the TC.
    
       Erik asked why you cannot have a condition at the Policy[Set] level.
       The original thinking was that the conditions should be contained at
       the Rule level. Raising Conditions to the Policy level potentially
       introduces significant complexity to the matching process.
    
       Erik raised the question on the list of Where we should put
       PolicyIssuer and MultipleCondition. The general consensus is that this
       should reside in the core specification.
    
       The question of whether to remove the use of URNs in the
       specification (vs. HTTP URI references) was raised on list. URNs were
       originally chosen to call out the non-dereferenceable nature of the
       information. The general consensus is that this not be changed.
    
       SubjectCategory elements no longer exists and this information is
       mapped to AttributeCategory.
    
    III. Issues
    
      #47 - WS-Policy Assertion Formats for XACML
       Anne reviewed her proposal for WS-Policy Assertions, then answered a
       few questions. However TC members need more time to study the draft
       more thoroughly before discussing it in detail.
    
    IV. Administrative
    
       Oasis RF Terms
       In the event "In case the TC is unable to finish its work by April,
       Hal will post a ballot asking if members would be willing to
       transition to the "RF on Limited Terms" IPR option.  Members should
       check with their company's legal and standards departments to see if
       they should vote yes to such a transition.
    
    meeting adjourned.
