- InCommon support for hierarchical federation. For example, automated publishing of UT metadata aggregate as input to InCommon metadata. Starting step could be: Paul logs in to InCommon and gives metadata URL. Register certificate that signed it. Related to XML submission. Or dynamic referral - InCommon delegates lookups to UT? Also support REEP? Doing this helps prepare InCommon for working with regional federations (via Quilt). NCTrust is another federation that could pilot hierarchical interfederation capabilities. (Maybe drop this one? -JimB)
- InCommon support for additional entity tags. As REFEDS and other groups develop standard entity tags, indicating (for example) whether an IdP should be included in discovery interfaces or indicating an SP's privacy policy, InCommon should provide the ability for InCommon entities to self-assert these tags. This can also include a tag indicating acceptance of the InCommon membership agreement.
