STATUS:               Pending Assignment

TITLE:                Definition Of Subject

SOURCE REFERENCE:     CC v2.1 Part 1 Subclause 2.3
RELATED TO:           <None>

ISSUE:

What is the nature of a subject? Must a subject be entirely in the TSC? Can there be subjects partially under control of the TSF? As part of this question, consideration should be given to the interaction between the definitions of "subject" and "TSC", in particular the phrase "with and within".

STATEMENT

Not yet determined.

RECOMMENDED CRITERIA CHANGES

This would likely involve some clarification of the definitions of Subject and TSC.
