- [**** DISCUSSED AFTER AGENDA ITEM #5 ****]

- [MOTION by Conor] Accept documents (pending AuthN
Context 

  change) as CD

    - second by Jeff

    - Tony: don't have web access currently

    - can't vote on what I can't see

    - happy with intent of fixing problem

    - happy with rest of spec

    - Frederick:
can't treat this fix as errata?

    - no

    - Scott: if you had reviewed it before and were
happy with it

      before, you'll be happy with it now

    - Prateek: we'll still have 30 days to look it
over

    - Steve: are you assuming we'll repeat the
public review

    - Eve: even the OASIS std process gives us
opportunity to make

      editorial changes

    - Scott: if we repeat the review, there are some
changes I'd like

      to make

    - Mike: are people suggesting not doing another
30 day review?

    - Prateek: first considering reaffirming as CD

    - Mike: but less comfortable voting CD if there
won't be another

      review

    - Jamie: can table this and vote on review vs.
OASIS ballot

    - Mike: could do electronic vote

    - Eve: could hold meeting in 1 week to vote

    - Steve: delaying for a week leaves no time for
changes after

      review before submitting for OASIS ballot by
Jan 15

    - Conor withdraws motion

- Conor: concerned about staying in loop of 30 day
reviews

- Prateek: proposal is to do one week ballots for
reaffirming

  CD status AND submit to OASIS for voting

- Jamie: fine to combine into one vote

- Eve: but we need to have fallback ballot (if vote
to go to 

  OASIS fails) to immediately start 30 day review

- Rob: planned electronic ballots are

    - re-confirm CD status

    - promote to OASIS for vote

    - if vote to go to OASIS fails, start 30 day
review immediately

- [ACTION] Chairs to create 3 electronic ballots
(CD, promote to OASIS,

  30 day review)

- Rob: means we don't need quorate meeting next
Tuesday

- [**** SKIPPING TO AGENDA ITEM #6 ****]

> 5. Discussion: 

>

>    Should we proceed to vote on OASIS standardization
?

>

>    OR 

>

>    Does the magnitude of changes of authn-context
schema

>    suggest another 30 day review period ?

>

 

- Rob: we do have a timing issue

- we may be comfortable proceeding to OASIS std, or
may desire

  another public review

- if want we proceed to OASIS std, we need to
re-approve CD status

- if we go thru another review, we would need to
start immediately

  to be able to submit by 15 Jan, to have them
approved by 1 Mar

- docs on authN context aren't on website yet

- JohnK: uploading now

- Rob: people obviously weren't looking at these, as
the authN 

  context was sort of secondary

- Rob: so how do folks feel about voting these as
CD, pending JohnK's

  post?

- Jamie: was a member of a TC 2 years ago that had a
similar 

  situation

    - can vote to CD, vote for another review, and
after that there

      must be yet another vote to confirm as CD

- Scott: for me, CD question isn't a question, specs
are stable

- editorial changes need to be merged in

- the question is whether to proceed to OASIS ballot

- also notes a change in latest Profiles draft
concerning what an

  IdP can do in response to an AuthN request in ECP

- Tony: so this is a semantic change

- Scott: yes, the text was overly restrictive, and
change loosens it

- attestations shouldn't be affected, because if
they were compliant

  already, they still should be

- Prateek: do we go back to agenda #4 now?

- Scott: my vote on #4 doesn't depend on #5

- [**** RETURNING TO AGENDA ITEM #4 ****]

> 6. Attestations: we now have three statements
of use !

thread

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200411/msg00126.html

- Rob: we have had discussions on the side to ensure
that we're 

  following OASIS procedure

- have spoken with AOL and Fidelity about stating
claims

- RSA will be posting on this shortly as well

- Tony: have taken issue to the OASIS board

    - people from Liberty
have submitted material with known IPR

    - pointers to Liberty
about the IPR may change

    - applicability of IP claims to TC output isn't
obvious

    - Conor: Liberty
requires disclosure of *pending* IPR and OASIS

      does not

    - Tony: Board has not responded yet

    - Frederick:
doesn't think it's progressed within the Board

- Jeff: Liberty
mgmt board granted us rights to their specs, and 

  they're the ultimate authority

- Jeff: why are we wasting TC time on this?  This is
a board matter.

- Prateek: we are following current OASIS rules, and
that is all we

  can do now

>    (b) Days late and dollars short, comments on
"entity" terminology

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200412/msg00013.html

- Eve: haven't finished, but looks pretty good so
far

- created descriptions of how terms are used, which
may be useful in

  tech overview or other ancillary docs

- Jeff: will help with clean up

- Ron: question about "asserting party"
overlapping "authority"

- Eve: almost synonyms

- confusion on "confirming entity", some
prefer "attesting entity"

- Eve: is compiling these edits, but not applying
them yet

- Rob: let's let Eve work with Editorial team to
ensure terms are

  consistent
