    II. Issues
    
      #47 - WS-Policy Assertion Formats for XACML
       Anne reviewed her draft on resolution to this issue.
    
       Tony asked if "nesting" capabilities of WS-Policy are addressed in
       this  proposal. Anne stated that the XACMLPolicyAssertion (or whatever
       it ends up being named) will not include nested policies - such an
       Assertion is completely self-contained, with all semantics defined in
       XACML.
    
       Anne will be publishing an updated version of the proposal in the next
       week.
    
      #49-52 Delegation with open Attribute Categories
       Erik reviewed his notes from the wiki on how delegation is affected by
       Daniel's proposal for Attribute Categories (Issue #3)
         http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xacml/IssuesList
    
       Issue #3: PENDING
    
       Erik noted that pursuing this model will "break" backwards
       compatibility with v2 (Issue #9). The current thinking by the group is
       that a v3 compliant PDP must be able to read v2 policies (stemming
       from discussion on list).
    
       General consensus by the TC is that Erik update the current Draft to
       reflect the changes proposed.
    
    
      #24 Mixed administrative/access target
       Discussion amongst the TC generated the general belief that the
       feature proposed in this issue doesn't solve the use case presented.
       Issue: PENDING.
    
    III. General
       Naming Conventions
       Anne will review the changes to the Oasis naming conventions and
       report back to the TC.
    
       Hal noted that he will be speaking at the Open Geospatial Consortium
       to present XACML.
