Notes

EDUCAUSE Annual Meeting
- CG Discussion -
Ken S. reported that Mark gave an overview of CAMP at the Registrar CG and Ken S followed up with a note to the Educause Registrar CG listserv about the meeting Tom was also there and discussed the NSC pilot , the challenges encountered, and next steps being taken. Another identity management topic mentioned was the Red Flag Rule that goes in effect in May that requires organizations (including those in higher education meeting the qualifications) to institute protections against identity theft for covered accounts.
- Registrar/IT meeting at AACRAO -
Jim gave an overview of a possible Registrar/IT Architect meeting that he and Tom talked about while at Educause. Tom is interested in exploring student services-related service oriented architecture with other registrar/IT staff at the AACRAO Annual Meeting meeting (April 13-15) . They discussed having an informal half-day meeting with Jim facilitating. Suggestions on the call included moving the meeting to the AACRAO Tech Meeting (http://www.aacrao.org/tech09/), where there might be more reasons for the IT folks to attend. Either way, AACRAO would need to know more about the facilitity needed, the number of attendees, beverage expectation (if any), and so on before they could schedule the room.
[AI] Jim will work with Tom to develop the requirements (estimated number of attendees, facility needs etc.). If you're interested in participating in designing the meeting or attending , contact Jim or Tom.
NSC Pilot
Scotty and Bruce reported that they were setting up the technical information in preparation for a test with NSC. Currently, they haven't talked with NSC about any identity/credential requirements (or level of assurance) as outlined in the NSC Student Self-Service (SSS) contract. (See the NSC Student Self-Service Agreement discussed on the last call.) Regarding the attribute work with PESC and NSC contract, Charlie called Ann before the meeting to report that he will be talking with Michael Sessa and Doug Falk in the coming week and will be sending out an email update then.
CAMP Update
Ann sent the final program on 11/11 to the list. The group took a quick look and offered that the flow looked interesting and logical. To increase the diversity of the schools presenting, [AI] Nancy will contact PIMA Community College about what they're doing with IdM. For more information, refer to the CAMP site.
Round Robin
- Earlier in the week, Scotty and Bob were at the Internet Identity Workshop, a meeting focused on consumer identity-related issues such as social networking identity models (OpenID et al). Since students now have multiple digital identities in a number of sites before even applyting to schools, it is important for us to understand these technologies and know when (and how) to integrate with them as needed. Applying for college, for instance, requires a separate id on each college site, plus other service providers such as CollegeBoard, common application, and so on. How can we streamline this for the student from an identity/account perspective?
- Cornell is working on outsourcing student email with Google/Microsoft.
- Stanford is still courting CollegeNet for course evaluations. Admissions also use CollegeNet to track applications at the institutional sites.
- Nancy was at a Sunguard meeting and was pleased to see that they were including a reference to identity management in their roadmap for the product.
- Indiana is working to federate with a career services provider, CSO (http://www.csoresearch.com/).
