Participation Agreement/Federation Operation Policies and Practices Changes
Ann reviewed the reasons for the proposed changes to these documents. The Baseline Expectations are changing the way we do business from an operations point of view and from the participant point of view. This requires changes to both the Participation Agreement and the FOPP. The change process for these documents is for management to propose changes, vet them with Internet2 legal, then ask for Steering approval. If approved, we publish the revised FOPP and notify the community within 15 days. For the Participation Agreement, we notify the participants of legal changes, which go into effect 90 days after the notification.

Unanimously approved. |
Legacy Metadata Endpoint Removal
Ann brought an information item to Steering concerning removing an old endpoint that participants could use to download metadata. InCommon instantiated a new download spot for metadata in 2014. At the time, it was expected that the old location (e.g. endpoint) would be deprecated, but there was some pushback and that never happened. Because of the plan to move ahead with per-entity metadata, the decision was made to remove this old endpoint.

There was concern expressed that a number of Amazon and Blackboard hosts appear on the list, so a university may not know that there is a problem. These types of third-party services is one thing that Baseline will need to address. However, it is incumbent on all site admins and execs to keep track of their email. Michael pointed out that we are talking about ;less than 3% of the more than 4,000 SPs.
Trust and Identity Project Portfolio
This is an item included on the agendas of all Trust and Identity governance and advisory groups and will be a standing information item for each meeting. It shouldn’t take any more than 3-4 minutes for members to review prior to the meeting.
Steering at Global Summit?
The Trust and Identity PAG will meet a Global Summit. Is there a need for a Steering Face-to-Face? (AI) Steering Exec will discuss at its next meeting.
