DISCUSSION
K12 Access and Federation (KAF) - InCommon effort update
- KAF was formed in 2012 to examine how Incommon can support K12
Federation
- KAF's recent focus has been on the Quilt / InCommon Federation Workshop, Feb 7-8, in La
Jolla, CA.
- This workshop will allow technical and policy reps from the regionals to
develop models for work.
Comments:
- In addition to the regionals, the state university systems also might be
able to support the effort of extending federation down to K12
- Once the February workshop is complete, some of the future work may be
delegated to existing working groups
Rodney: At the EDUCAUSE regional conference in Baltimore, a
Concern was voiced that an organization must be a member of InCommon to take
advantage of Net+ services. This is potentially a challenge for small
schools in HE, and for K12.
SteveO: The InCommon membership now includes numerous small
institutions.

- In addition, eventually there may be a consortium or tiered model or some other way to allow
schools to join.
- There are webinars on Jan. 18 and Jan. 25 in preparation for the Quilt / InCommon Federation Workshop workshop.
- Email SteveO if you'd like more info.
Roadmap and Use Cases
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/K12FedIAMTF/K-12+Roadmap
- Mark has been working on use caes and roadmap and has reorganized some of the content
- Mark has taken a stab at writing an intro
- Use cases or case studies would be very helpful
- After this roadmap is more developed, it would be good to turn it into a document to add to the Primer.
