Review of recent activity

   RI: reviewing wiki activity in last 4 weeks

   RW: swamped, have lots of interesting cases to write up

   RI: any major additions to the wiki past 4 weeks
   ... two new languages added

   <tlr> PROTUNE

   <tlr> ScribeNick: tlr

   RW: PrimeLife deliverable
   ... about to be published ...
   ... contains lots of review of standards the project will try to
   address ...
   ... collection of policy languages ...
   ... have to see whether we have all of these in that list ...
   ... and also whether there are additions in the PrimeLife list ...

   RI: Analysis as well as just documenting?

   RW: Not a deep analysis
   ... just adds some explanation of what these do ...
   ... still lots of pages ...

   MCM: Description of successful use cases? pros/cons?

   RW: Good idea, but we haven't done that yet
   ... maybe if we ever come across implementation, let's add that to wiki
   ...

   HT: Think Implementation itself is nice ...
   ... deployment is the crucial part ...
   ... I worked on a specific protocol that's widely implemented ...
   ... but in fact not widely deployed ...

   RW: Interesting

   HT: Protocol is diameter
   ... it's a AAA protocol ...
   ... 26 implementations, but hardly any use ...
   ... implementations are interesting, but it doesn't help ..
   ... understand why things are not successful wrt deployment ...

   MCM: important to consider deployment

   HT: Hard to get by with that information about deployments

   RW: Hard work indeed.

   RI: Looking forward to PrimeLife report

   MCM: Public deliverable?

   RW: In the loop for publication clearance

   RI: </languages>
   ... No new use cases added that I've seen.
   ... anything new from Marco?

   MCM: Haven't seen anything extremely different
   ... main driver is how to deal with multiple languages in different
   contexts ...
   ... big theme in HP ...
   ... talking to some of the business groups ...
   ... common context is heterogeneous ...
   ... environments with enforcement and decision points at different
   points of the stack ...
   ... conservative approach to change ...
   ... any compelling way to combine / compare different policies ...
   ... check for inconsistencies ...
   ... update consistently ...

   RI: Reviewing other sections of wiki, not much new

   RW: What's PROTUNE about?

   RI: There's a link from the wiki. Don't know it in detail.

   RW: Picos?

   MCM: Trying to get people to join these calls, but conflict today.
