   David:
     I move that the TC approve JSON Profile of XACML 3.0 Version 1.0, Working Draft 19
     and all associated artifacts packaged together in
     https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=54384&wg_abbrev=xacml

   David:
     I move to approve the Chair requesting that TC Administration hold a Special Majority
     Vote to approve JSON Profile of XACML 3.0 Version 1.0, Working Draft 19 contained in
     https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=54384&wg_abbrev=xacml
     as a Committee Specification. I further move that the TC affirm that changes have 
     been made since the last public review, that the changes made are documented in
     Appendix B and that the TC judges these changes to be Non-Material in accordance with
     the definition in the OASIS TC Process.
   Bill:
     I second.
   VOTE:
      APPROVED unanimously.

  RBAC Profile Ballot - Passed
   CS E-ballot passed. Now a Committee Specification. 

III. Issues
  JSON Profile
   David:
     The comments posted in June were largely cosmetic. I also corrected an editorial
     error. I believe that we are ready to move onto the next step. 
   Hal:
     If there are not material changes we can open it up to promotion without Public
     Review. Is the TC ready to proceed or does it need more time? Did you mean NO 
     standard schema for JSON in your note?
   David:
     That is correct. There was not much in the way of standardization when I started on
     this. Perhaps there has been more lately.
   Remon:
     Yes, it has picked up a bit.
   Hal:
     Historically the TC has been conservative in these situations.
   Hal:
     Any thoughts by the TC? Hearing none I will assume that the TC is ready to progress 
     with Profile. {read non-material change text on Oasis site}. David, should we have a 
     Public Review?
   David:
     I think that it has been long enough that we should be able to move forward.
   Mohammad:
     I have been requesting that we should make an XML representation of the JSON. I would
     like to pursue this further.
   Hal:
     Do we have a volunteer to develop examples of this?
   Mohammad:
     I think this is important to have these examples. I would like to ask authors why we
     dont have them.
   David:
     Historically the TC has developed examples outside of the Profiles themselves.
   Remon:
     JS developers have a low tolerance for XML so this 
   Mohammad:
     I don't want to hold this up but I think we are lacking formal definition of what 
     this is based upon.
   Hal:
     The general consensus is that we move forward, but it's a good idea to create 
     ancillary information, including an XML schema that this is based upon at a later 
     point.

  Admin Profile 
   Hal:
     Work is ongoing on the TC list.

  REST Profile
   Remon:
     The Public Review has ended without comments. I move to approve the Chair requesting
     that TC Administration hold a Special Majority Ballot to approve REST Profile of 
     XACML v3.0 Version 1.0, CSD-03 contained in
     http://docs.oasis-open.org/xacml/xacml-rest/v1.0/csprd03/xacml-rest-v1.0-csprd03.html
     as a Committee Specification.
   Richard Hill:
     I second.
   VOTE:
     APPROVED unanimously.

  JSON question = xacml-dev
   David: 
    There was a comment on the xacml-dev list asking if we would be interested in 
    considering JSON in the Core spec.
   Hal:
     This may be possible via another Profile. It will take some investigation.
   David:
     Actually, they may be suggesting a Profile.
   Hal:
     I need to look at the Content element to see how it is defined, unless anyone knows 
     offhand? I suggest we discuss this further on the list. {General consensus}
