FTR, when we discussed V.Next at the Dublin F2F the agenda included the following list of V.Next issues and a query to find them:

Actually the Dublin minutes record the following consensus position:

Subject: Will there be a next version of WS-Policy?


We discussed this briefly in Dublin but AFAIK no decision was reached.
Dave O made the excellent point that if we wanted a next version before
2 years we should start asap.

Whether or not we want a next version of WS-Policy depends, of course,
on the requirements we have for vNext and whether these are compelling.
Looking through Bugzilla, here is what I found:

Issue 3616: Policy Negotiation
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3616
In my view we need to define this better.  Dale Moburg had some ideas
based on negotiation in ebXML

Issue 3639: Which Policy Alternative was selected
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3639
If intersection yields more than one compatible alternative, which
alternative is selected for the conversation and how is this
communicated between the parties?

Issue 4889: Policies depend on message properties
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4889
The policy to be applied depends on a property of the message such as
customer ID.
This comes from a customer requirement

Issue 5045:  Why did intersection fail?
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5045
I just added this as a requirement from our product folks.

I may have missed some.  Or there may be others that people have in mind
but not yet brought forward.  Please think about this, talk to your
product teams and recommend a course of action.
