Title: IMPORTANT: NOVEMBER 7 VOTE... Hi, Thanks, Anne, for summarizing and tabulating our current status. I agree; it looks like we will have no problem getting 2/3 of the voting members present for the TC call this Thursday. As long as we have no more than 1/4 objecting (i.e., no more than three objections), we can approve XACML as a Committee Specification on that call. This will be a role-call vote. But, Tim and Simon need to know what to put in the spec with respect to some of the issues Anne has listed. especially the "Subjects" issue highlighted below. Some have already stated a preference for one of the two resolutions to that issue; others should weigh-in by the end of today. Majority (of all the opinions expressed) wins and the spec will be sent to the list sometime tomorrow. Carlisle. ---------- From: Anne Anderson[SMTP:

Simon and Hal probably just have not had a chance to respond yet - I can't imagine they would not be on this call :-) But, even without Simon and Hal, we have 11 out of 15 members who have positively indicated that they WILL be present. So unless we get some unexpected NO votes, I think we could vote for Committee Specification on 7 November as long as we can resolve the remaining issues in time for Simon and Tim to issue the "Final Draft" by close of business on Wednesday. Attached is a new Change Requests list, containing only the unresolved Change Requests. A couple of these we probably don't have to resolve before public review. But I want everyone to be aware of what remains. In particular, could people respond to the two proposed resolutions to "0162: [Polar] [Schema/Text Change] Subjects", since that is the immediate sticking point. Anne -- Anne H. Anderson Email:
