Giuseppe De Marco:

Trust Marks \([https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1\_0.html#name-trust-marks](https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0.html#name-trust-marks)\) should be moved in the Components \([https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1\_0.html#section-3](https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0.html#section-3)\) section for the following reasons:  
  
- it represents a basic component for the infrastructures of trust  
- it doesn’t strictly represent something related to policies alone, its value is more general and wider than the way we define and apply the federation policies  
  
Another restructuring proposal pertains the need to distinguish better than the current text the differences between the entity configurations and the entity statements. The Components section would have a general sub section called “Statements” with the following hierarchical structure:

* Entity Configuration and Entries for All Entity Configurations
* Entries for Trust Anchor Entity Configurations
* Entries for Leaf Entity Configurations
* Entries for Intermediate Entity Configurations  
* Entity Statement and Entries for All Entity Statements
