PLING: Suggested Discussion Topics

Hi all.

The PLING's team contacts (Thomas and Rigo), Renato and I have received a few (off-line) emails asking for more information about PLING's next steps and discussion topics.

Given the PLING Charter, we suggest to start discussing these two key topics:

1) Use-cases involving the usage of policies in various scenarios, pros and cons of adopted policy frameworks, pain points, issues and recommendations

2) Creating a list of known policy languages & frameworks that are currently used in the industry, academy, etc. and/or are of relevance to the audience

Topic 1 aims at sharing practical experiences in using policies in a variety of contexts, along with any issue and requirements. The goal is to create awareness of important (and/or common) use-cases, limitations and needs.
Please notice this is NOT a discussion about specific policy language features.

Topic 2 aims at creating a list that "maps" the current "policy language" space, by clearly identifying policy languages and frameworks that the audience uses and/or believe are of some relevance.

Of course these two topics are not independent: discussions and contributions are really welcome on both themes.

NOTE: We would also like to encourage the members of this mailing list to publicly introduce themselves by sharing their affiliation, interests, what they would like to get from this IG and/or how they would like to contribute (thanks to the ones that have already done it!) .

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Marco, Renato & the PLING Team
