Updates/Announcements
- Bob - Microsoft is planning to offer services to students and wants to
use federated identity to verify enrollment for access. Stay tuned. The
service should be rolled out in the next 2-4 months.
- Bob- StudentUniverse.com offers online discount travel tickets to
students. They would also like to use federated identity to have
campuses verify student enrollment to qualify to purchase their tickets.
- Nancy - The Liberty Alliance project has released "An Overview of the
Id Governance Framework" at

verview-id-governance-framework-v1.0.pdf. They are looking for comment.EDUCAUSE Annual Conference Discussion - Joanne
The Registrar Meeting went well and attendees asked good questions about
drivers and terminology after Joanne's presentation. Representatives
from the Kuali Student Project were there too and we talked with them
afterwards about coordinating efforts.
AACRAO IdM Workshop - Nancy/Ann
Nancy/Ann had a discussion with AACRAO on Wednesday about an IdM
Workshop (name TBD) to bring together campus Registrar/IT pairs to
further planning on their campus and give input into a community
whitepaper.
We plan to have a combination of open registration and selective
recruiting to help move discussion along. We will most likely have a
diverse audience - some will be familiar with the concepts and some will
not - so we'll have to do an introductory session.
Group discussed various methods of doing this:
1) first half day could be for new folks
second half day could be those who have experience
2) morning of the first day will be a tutorial then go into the two half
days.
Bob suggested that a paper be drafted beforehand to provide background
for the attendees and enable review of the content on the spot. The
resulting document will be more complete upon first public release. We
could also develop a possible planning tool that could be used/reviewed
during the meeting. Having participants read these ahead of time also
provides a way of self-selecting whether they need to attend the
introductory session, if offered. Bob offered to help with drafting the
white paper.
Scoping is still an issue. How much of IdM do we include in the
whitepaper/program?
We could also survey the participants about their knowledge and campus
environment to help the program committee assemble the program topics.
A separate discussion centered on surveying the AACRAO membership on the
top 10 issues. IdM probably wouldn't appear, but components of IdM
would. Maybe we should include such a discussion on the program?
