Ops Update
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/inctac/Ops+Update+2016-04-14
Tom Scavo reported on an April 12 incident in which an entity descriptor for Leepfrog was un-published unintentionally. This cause an approximate three-hour outage, since it occurred at the end of the work day, until metadata could be restored. Investigation found that this was caused by an unexpected reaction by the web interface to a sequence of button push commands that caused the entity descriptor to be deleted. Discussing some ideas for fixing this.
Tom also reviewed the three incidents from two weeks ago; the two unresolved issues are related to the metadata signing process failing. Staff are confident they have a solution, but it is still undergoing testing and this is not yet in production.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wDgZXT-ia97QHoeN5b1LLQvHJ2qi06SrjVHx0WHMtTE/edit
...
(AI) TAC members should review (by April 28) the charter, particularly the list of 10 items, to determine if the scope is too broad, and/or if there are items that could removed from the list.
REFEDS discussions of Attribute Release
There have been two threads on the REFEDS email list this week related to attribute release and the issues over harmonizing R&S with EU privacy laws and policies. TAC members are encouraged to read that thread.
...
(AI) Tom Scavo will check whether there is such documentation already in existence.
TAC 2016 Work Items
Original DRAFT set of thoughts
...
(AI) TAC members should review this list for completeness and appropriateness, keeping in mind that, while the items don’t necessarily need to be finished in 2016, they should be things that are important and on which we can make measurable progress in 2016.
NSTIC Grant Proposal
Scott mentioned that a grant proposal involving the Shib Consortium (and submitted by Yubicode) has made the final round of the NSTIC proposal process.
