Minutes
The minutes from the February 3, 2014, meeting were approved.
Affiliation-Based Access Category
This would be the second category deployed by InCommon. The ABA category identifies service providers that benefit faculty, students, others, based solely on their affiliation with the institution. Steering reviewed this proposed category last year, but it was set aside as the first category – Research & Scholarship – was fairly new and just gaining traction.
It was moved (Jack), seconded (Melissa), and unanimously approved to adopt this category.
Virginia Tech Compliance with 1.2 Assurance Documents
It was moved (Jack) and seconded (Joel) to approve the AAC recommendation to accept Virginia Tech’s documents as demonstrating compliance with the assurance 1.2 specifications. Unanimously approved.
