Policies in
the Alphabet Soup
Abstract: A critical look at
"policy" in various standards groups, accepting fairly loose
definitions of both "policy" and
"standard". Where,
how, and what kinds of policy are being used?
Where is policy not being used, but possibly should be? From an industry point of view, where is the
standardization of policy languages and policy applications headed?

It’s a Good Idea, But….
Abstract: A critical look at
"policy" and why it can never be implemented as cleanly or easily as
initial designs imply. We describe the set of objects which policies do not
control. From a practical point of view, what is it about the deployment of
policy management that creates
curmudgeons?
