The AAC agreed the language is OK.

NIST TFS (Trust Framework Solutions) Program News

• Tom prepared a response to NIST regarding their recent program docs.
• Tom will change the last paragraph into more of an “ask”
• We need to send this to NIST by Friday, Dec. 22
, 2017
• Almost an entirely new TFS program
; may be conceived for federal govt procurement purposes
◦ Would drastically increase the cost
to InCommon
◦ Brett: New recommendations on passwords and on MFA are of value
• InCommon is already federating with several federal agencies, using mechanisms outside the TFS program
• Might be helpful to do some behind the scenes consultation on what Kantara and others are thinking of these TFS changes. Colin Wallis's blogpost was of interest.
