Title: XACML Conference Call Minutes XACML Conference Call Date: Thursday, September 12, 2002 Time: 10:00 AM EDT Tel: 512-225-3050 Access Code: 65998 Summary Since we had quorum, we voted to approve the batch of change requests that had previously been discussed. A new item, #40 was also added that generated a lot of discussion and still needs resolution. Carlisle proposed adding a one hour focus group after the TC call to help facilitate completing the specification. Based on discussion, 9/26 deadline may be extended because some feel we need at least two weeks to digest the completed spec before voting on it and there is still a lot of discussion regarding a couple issues.

[Michiharu] Add XPath functions as non-mandatory STATUS: POSTPONED 9/9 (Michiharu will update and resubmit) UPDATE : I want to postpone this change request update until we reach an agreement on a function model. 0031. [Michiharu] Type of XPathVersion element from string=>anyURI STATUS: POSTPONED 9/9 (Michiharu to reconsider and resubmit) UPDATE : REMOVED I would like to change my original change request and propose a change request [0039].

[Michiharu] Schema change of AttributeSelector STATUS: POSTPONED 9/9 (Michiharu to revise and resubmit) Update: Updated Change Request posted 9/12 0035. [Michiharu] AttributeSelectorIndirect STATUS: POSTPONED 9/9 (Michiharu will restate and resubmit) 0038. [Simon] Extending XACML semantics with subject-class STATUS: POSTPONED 9/9 (Simon to submit use case where *required*) UPDATE: REMOVED Discussion of new issue 39 [0039] Proposal: I request to remove "XPathVersion" attribute from AttributeSelector element. This change removes the reason is that we already allow a default value of XPathVersion in Policy and PolicySet elements. Since the minimum unit of the policy rules are Policy element, I think it is sufficient to specify XPath version information at a policy level, not at each AttributeSelector level. Policy writer who uses AttributeSelector must specify the xpath version in PolicyDefaults or PolicySetDefaults element. The value of XPath 1.0 version is " http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/Rec-xpath-19991116 ". New issue #40: Semantics of sequences proposed by Simon/Michiharu There is a proposal by Michiharu and a lot of discussion around this issue. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200209/msg00071.html Discussion of list processing functions, ordering of sequences, etc. Some discussion to add 1 hour focus group call following TC calls on Thursdays Will we reach committee spec in 2 weeks per schedule. Tim feels we need final document in hand for at least 2 weeks to let things sink in. Request that Polar or Michiharu post summary of views after discussion.
