The following statement is not accurate. “Applied in the Web services model, policy is used to convey conditions on an interaction between two Web service endpoints.” Justification: Policy is not limited to “conveying conditions on interaction of two Web service end points.” The requester side of the service offered by Web service (endpoint) need not be another endpoint; could be any client that is not necessarily another Web service endpoint. And the policy is not limited to interaction between “two” Web service endpoints. It is applicable to all clients / requesters that interact with the Web service end point. Target: WS-Policy 1.5 - Framework Proposal – Rephrase the description not to imply any such restriction: “Applied in the Web services model, policy is typically used to convey conditions on interactions with Web service endpoints.” Regards, Prasad Yendluri 10986 1 asirveda 2006-08-02 00:19:35 +0000 RE “Policy is not limited to “conveying conditions on interaction of two Web service end points.” The requester side of the service offered by Web service (endpoint) need not be another endpoint; could be any client that is not necessarily another Web service endpoint.

Thank you for carefully reviewing it. I noticed that the proposed wording does not adequately capture the number of entities interacting. Suggested rephrase is: “Applied in the Web services model, policy is used to convey the conditions for an interaction between a Web service requestor and a Web service provider.” This covers both a requestor -> a provider and multiple requestors -> a provider.
