RE: Draft IG Charter -- Your Comments, Please

It is well realized that it is an IG and what an IG can do or not !
Here is a suggested v2 of your draft :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Interest Group hosts discussions both of architectural, language  and
application interest in view of possible standardization .It's focus is on how diverse user-lead privacy requirements can be implemented in languages.It will consider use cases in the privacy, access control, identity management and obligation management areas driven by individuals'  needs . The IG's privacy language work will specify needed functionalities  to support in  languages privacy negotiations ,compliance and evaluation schemes in the presence of diverse end user requirements by individuals  . Implementation must be interoperable with  Semantic Web technologies, suitable SLA standards ,and other standardized  policy negotiation & management frameworks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What motivates the IG in the first place is how diverse policy
languages and requirements interact and can be combined; I'd hope
that that's clear from the charter.

You seem to have a specific wording proposal in mind. Mind
proposing some concrete edits to the text?

My current take is that the scope as outlined in the present draft
covers the points that you want to discuss. I certainly can't come
up with an example for something that would be deemed in scope
according to the your remarks, and out of scope according to the
current text.

(Bear in mind that this is the charter for an *Interest* Group, not
a Working Group; the purpose here is to provide a platform for
community building and discussion that might at some point in the
future lead to actual standardization work.)

Dear Prof Pau,

abstracting a bit, I wonder whether explicitly include advanced
policy negotiation and evaluation frameworks in the charter
addresses your concern.

Here is a proposed change to do so:

  ...

  The Interest Group hosts discussions both of architectural and
  applic ation interest; it will, in particular, consider use cases
  in the privacy, access control, identity management and obligation
  management areas. The group may explore the use of relevant
  technologies toward delivering interoperability frameworks for
  policy languages. Relevant technologies include Semantic Web
  technologies, the work of the W3C Rule Interchange Working Group,
  +++and advanced policy negotiation and evaluation frameworks+++.
  
  ...

Please let me know what you think about this.
