RESOLUTION: 5 May 2010 Minutes approved

Policy framework

<fjh> http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/policy/

fjh: we have general agreement on trust domains being done explicitly
... asking paddy on agreement with this

paddy: yes
... target in nokia model is the trust domain
... we separate out trust domain from rest of document
... some cases we have to work through

fjh: lots of benefit about being explicit about trust domains
... being explicit will enable simplification
... like to suggest formal resolution
... proposing resolution: We will use explicit trust domains in the policy framework

paddy: notes that XACML policy expressions can be refactored
... for useful cases, one can mechanically convert one expression from another

LauraA: we would name a policy set for a trust domain and within domain
... we can have individual policies?

paddy: to be able to express the same things ...
... in BONDI you can have multiple targets
... you must be able to define the same thing in different trust domains
... all of the things you can do with a BONDI policy, you must also be able to do for a trust domain
... principle of separating def. of target and def. of rules is possible
... when you write trust domains, you have to have the same functionality as with BONDI

fjh: this may be an 80/20 situation, where you do not meet this
... good to identify the 20 percent

paddy: Agree we should look at use cases

bryan: clarification on wording
... don't you mean the ability to define explicit trust domains

fjh: there must be a trust domain

bryan: might the absence of an explicit domain imply an implicit trust default domain

fjh: we might be able to accommodate this
... we might be able to pre-define some trust domains
... if you don't know what trust domain, then "untrusted"

bryan: we are not defining trust domains themselves
... we are defining ability to define t.d.s
... not talking about "home" "work"
... we are not just trying to define a set

paddy: goal is to separate target from rules

<fjh> proposed RESOLUTION: make trust domain model an explicit and separate part of policy framework

paddy: we also may identify some well known trust domains

RESOLUTION: WG will make trust domain model an explicit and separate part of policy framework

fjh: referring to earlier comment by LauraA
... suggest we take schema material in separate document

<bryan_sullivan> +1

LauraA: some of sections suggested to go under framework already have features of profiling

<fjh> suggest separation, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010May/0052.html

LauraA: not 100% clean separation between those two schemes
... 3.3 to 3.5 for example are already part of naming of GML? language

fjh: there is some overlap but want to take a pass on separating model

paddy: the source of the bondi document had the model in two separate parts
... there is a dictionary that is shared

fjh: can you do more editorial work?

LauraA: okay but good if someone can help

possible ACTION: LauraA to work on framework document to inject more separation

LauraA: your e-mail to simplify flows
... is fjh's suggestion to take nokia's flows and simplify

fjh: where can we simply if possible
... we have a model with lots of features, but can we simplify
... we will get more adoption if simpler
... if you nokia one

send message to list for seek on help on particular sections

<bryan_sullivan> if Laura needs help on a specific section or subject I can take the request by email and will provide some text

scribe: may have existing action
