Notes

  • Intellectual Property Reminder  - All Internet2 activities are governed by the  Internet2 Intellectual Property Framework.
  • Public Content Notice  - TAC minutes are public documents. Please let the TAC and note taker know if you plan to discuss something of a sensitive nature.
  • Call for scribe volunteers ( 2 per call)
  • Agenda Bash + request for notable working and advisory group updates
    • End of year stuff
    • Recurring Baseline display  release to FM
    • Eduroam update pending
      • IdP is required for eduRoam CAT access (https://cat.eduroam.org/) (which is a specific configuration support tool that IC members can request)
      • Question: If in eduRoam, is it encouraged that you have an IdP in the federation (to allow access via federated login?)
      • Complicated question. It is “better” - for access to FM, but no distinct push to require this of members. 
      • Cirrus indicates they frequently have customers confusing membership in IC with memberships in eduRoam or publishing of an IdP. So interested in the membership. 
    • There was no CTAB meeting this week.
    • Operations Update
    • REFEDS MFA profile v1.2 is now the officially published version at https://refeds.org/profile/mfa 
  • Availability for Nov 30
    • No one indicated an issue. 
    • Meeting will take place as normal.
    • There will be an IC staff meeting on this date. Can non-IC staff still make that date?
  • Chair / vice chair election results
    • Chair: Keith
    • Vice Chair: Joanne
  • Access Entity Category recommendations - progress
    • Scheduling challenges, sub-group regathering early Dec. 
    • Main changes are around eduPersonAffiliation values.
  • Accomplishments Report
    • Matthew E. to update the Fed Testing section by 11/17
  • Work Plan 2024
    • Draft Document (not for final minutes): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IjcIp7Fe5AfafD9Dxi_3VykffdXiiMgX4h_vrYPupME/edit 
    • Some concern about too much finalization before new folks join, and ambiguity of new work (e.g., from steering) that is likely to be coming. (or not having enough on the work plan, given the number of people coming on board)
    • Will we have capacity/value to add/interest for topics like DiD and browser changes?
    • Albert notes that REFEDS has workgroups on these topics, and we have representation via Judith, potentially others. 
    • Browser changes is perhaps more of a general (external) risk than it is an action/workplan item.
    • Do we want to create documentation providing guidance on what the risks v. realities are around these bigger topics?
    • Homework for all: Please review and continue to add your edits!
