3. Review of
the HIMSS demonstration of the XACML and SAML profiles of XSPA.  Open
discussion on the experience. 

The HIMSS successfully demonstrated the XSPA profile of XACML and the XSPA
profile of SAML.  We added a use case that revealed an issue: i.e. where
requestor had HL7 perms but not the expected ASTM role.  We need to update the
policy to allow for this situation, e.g. when one organization only has nurses
they should be able to access the data typically that the target enterprise
expects doctors to access.

4.  XSPA Profile of
SAML

Duane has additions to the XSPA Profile of SAML profile as to OIDs. 
Overall the profile is solid.

5. Next steps and
general comments.

Duane reports NHIN architect preferred XSPA over their current model. 
NHIN architects will include the XACML and SAML profiles in the June release of
connect NHIN at the adaptor level.  There is still some effort involved in
providing the payload through the gateway to the receiving adaptor servicing
request.  Target for release for that work is after June release but the plan
is to use XSPA across the whole enterprise.

6.  No issues from
Anil

Adjournment of the
(Unofficial) meeting.
