    Subject: hosting test and research policy repository


    Colleagues,
    
    I checked with Jamie Clark on whether there were any OASIS issues with 
    the idea of the XACML TC hosting a repository of "rather large" policies 
    contributed for research and test purposes.
    
    Jamie responded, "Seems to me this ought to be a good thing, and ought 
    to be possible."  He was not concerned about resource costs.  As far as 
    IP issues, he said any OASIS member can contribute without further 
    steps.  Non-members can contribute content if accompanied by a Feedback 
    License from http://www.oasis-open.org/who/ipr/feedback_license.pdf. 
    "He can just sign & send it in and then we can take his uploads to his 
    heart's content. ... Or if it's just text, he can send messages in to 
    the form at
    http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=xacml";
    
    So, is this something we want to do?  I would want the repository and 
    contribution mechanism designed to minimize my work as TC web person. 
    We would need a way to logically separate "top-level" policies from 
    "reference-only" policies in a particular package of policies, as 
    required in the RBAC model.
    
    Regards,
    Anne Anderson
