Quorum was reached ( 3 out of 3 (%100) of voting members)

 

- Discussion of the SAML profile committee specification draft.

 

Mohammad: Do we need to add attributes for representing the organization's policy with respect to sensitive information? This is necessary in inter-state and international use-cases.

 

Kathleen: This is important for trust negotiations.

 

Mohammad: We can't capture the trust negotiation protocol with SAML.

 

Kathleen: But we need to add the required attributes to be used in such protocol.

 

Mohammad: Agreed. We need to choose whether we want to stop moving the current profile forwards until we have a better understanding and preferably a demo implementation of such protocol. For example: what do we do if the consumer's policy
 doesn't match the provider's policy. Which one overrides?

 

Kathleen: That's also a policy. 

 

Mike: Currently we can assume the transaction is rejected if the recipient can't comply with the sender's policy.

 

Duane: That's the case in the current demo implementation.

 

Mike moved that we proceed with the current profile and leave such attributes for a future “trust attributes profile”.

Unanimously approved.

 

Mohammad: The next step for the profile is to open the committee specification draft for public review.

 

Motion: approving “Cross-Enterprise Security and Privacy Authorization (XSPA) Profile of SAML v2.0 for Healthcare Version 2.0 Committee Specification Draft 01” dated 1 April 2014 to be published to the repository and be made available for
 Public Review
