Minutes
Approved the minutes from the August 26, 2013, meeting.
R&S Category
Steering reviewed the TAC recommendation for the changes to the R&S Category (https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/INCS/Research+and+Scholarship+Category+Amendment)
It would be good to include some promotional text in the communication concerning the changes, encouraging organizations to adopt R&S. There were some reports that a few institutions have stated that they won't adopt R&S, and these decisions are being made below the CIO level and may be based on incomplete information. As a result, we should communicate with CIOs about why R&S is important. A simple survey is suggested, consisting of a short email that summarizes the question, with a link to more details and the survey.
Service by Affiliation Category
There was a first reading of the Service by Affiliation category (https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/INCS/Service+by+Affiliation+Category)
This category is for those that provide services based on an individual's affiliate with an institution (services based on student-ness, for example). Typically the SPs do not have a contract with a campus and these are low-risk services. There was feedback that a different, more-understandable category name would be useful.
