All, attached you will find the new EAP profiles -- I have not yet uploaded 
them to the OGSA gridforge project website as the website does not seem to 
be functioning properly at the moment.

The EAP has been refactored from three documents into two:

- An "OGSA Secure Addressing Profile" (OGSA SAP) document that is purely a 
profile on WS-Addressing that discusses the attachment of security policy to 
EPRs and the digital signature of EPRs.

- An "OGSA Secure Communication Profile" (OGSA SCP) document that serves as 
a profile on WS-SecurityPolicy to accommodate the inclusion of actual 
security tokens within policy documents and to define normative, 
referenceable, composable "well-known" policy documents identifying 
commonly-used security mechanisms.

They are now orthogonal: the "well known" policies defined in the SCP can be 
referenced by security policy within WSDL, UDDI, and EPRs (as profiled by 
the SAP).

The agenda for this afternoon's EAP call is primarily to review the document 
structure and comment on the discussion in the SCP of "claims".
