    Timeline
    Current goal is to have at least Working Draft agreed upon for feedback within August.

    III. Issues
    Short Identifiers
    There was general consensus to proceed with Short Identifiers in the following manner:
    * "SID" agreed upon as short name identifier.
    * "SIDCollection" agreed upon as collection of SIDs
    * SID will used throughout the specification, with an introduction.

    Steven has posted examples online:
    https://github.com/oasis-tcs/xacml-spec/blob/xacml-4.0-core-spec/xacml-v4.0-csd01.md

    There was a conversation about how to handle the non-unique nature of SIDs. The general
    consensus is that duplicate SIDs will be rejected. This will happen procedurally at the
    evaluation level, but likely has larger operational parameters (e.g. tooling ensuring
    uniqueness, PAP validation, etc.) Steven will generate some additional text around SIDs
    in the document to highlight Best Practice considerations in addition to explicit
    enforcements/limitations.

    ACAL
    There was general consensus to formally name this version of the specification ACAL. As
    the specification Core progresses work will begin on the language specific versions:
    * The XML representation will remain XACML and be XACML, v4.0
    * The JSON representation will be JACAL, v 4.0
    * The YAML representation will be YACAL, v4.0

    ACTION ITEM:
    Bill to request the ACAL start document from TC Admin

    The next meeting will be held in 4 weeks.

    meeting adjourned.
