agenda:

1. Intellectual Property Rights Awareness: Internet2 Intellectual
Property Framework <http://members.internet2.edu/intellectualproperty.html>


2. agenda bash


3. check on whether we've got consensus on a number of UI <-> API
interaction issues:

a. mapping access privs to field-level read/write privs. Options
  (1) Grouper class method to map access privs to field-level read/write
  (2) GrouperAccess.has method to report privs in field-level terms
  (3) site-configurability of access roles

b. need for a DELETE priv

c. GrouperNaming methods to create & search namespaces

d. UI handling of subject attributes

e. java beans compliance

f. user selectability of (immediate only, effective only, both) display 
of membership (ie, "hasMember" type or GrouperGroup.list*Vals). Ditto 
for display of isMemberOf type membership (ie, GrouperMember.list*Vals). 
What about selecting any other list field?

g. support for custom attributes in 0.6


4. subject interface issue bundle - do we have the right collection of 
issues gathered for discussion on an upcoming signet conference call?

a. pass subjectID of querier to subjectType's adapterClass so that it 
can apply whatever subject access policy or filtering capability it may have

b. Can/should/howto support multiple sources for a single subjectType
(eg, multiple IdPs for 'person' subjectTypes)?

c. is there a need for simultaneous searching across adapterClasses
for multiple subjectTypes?
