very busy, what should be the priority?
Audience...
Jacob Farmer - leverage with vendors, helping vendors develop federation understanding
Jim Basney - SPs need commonality and concensus among IdPs
Steve Carmody - initially the bar was set low; is it time to raise the bar for InCommon membership.
Scott Koranda - noticed research wasn't mentioned in John's list, what's InCommon's commitment to researech?
more attribute release, more federated incident response
Paul Caskey wonders if IdP of last resort would be useful
Scott Cantor wonders if NSF (etc) could mandate useful IdP behavior for faculty
Jack Suess - does waiting for the government makes us slower than we otherwise would be
should we just do a multi-factor profile, is there another profile useful to research
Jacob - helping SPs route attribute release configuration needs
Michael Gettes - years ago push to 'educate CIOs' but should this be targeted at those reporting to CIOs
Jim B. - InCommon helpdesk? track workflows
Kevin Morooney - the trade-offs, mature projects vs. new projects, agrees with Steven's point of 'this tall to get on the ride'
Steven - is there too much 'thin' use of the feederation? does that dimension need more development?
finding the appropriate person on campus for particular contacts
operational infrastructure for inter-federation
cypher! words can't describe Brown's pain trying to integrate with a vendor solution
stuff 'onto the plate' vs. stuff 'off the plate' - assurance,
Michael - re-emphasize importance of CommonApp (?) back at the home institutions (with registrars, etc)
Henry Hughes, Niels - importance of international cooperation, and federation routing for issues
Kevin - social to SAML importance
Jack - Are there SP's to highlight as 'doing it right'? Scott C. - WebAssign!
