Mark summarized discussions regarding the possibility of opening TAC meetings and/or opening the TAC email list. After consideration, TAC determined that open meetings would likely make it harder to get through the agenda. The same is true with the email list.
The recommendation is to develop one or more separate email lists (possibly by topic) to fill the need for community discussion. (AI) Mark Scheible will set up this discussion via email.
The goal is to make this work plan public soon for community review. (AI) TAC members should review the work plan by COB Wednesday, March 8, and also sign up as a TAC champion or sponsor for area(s) in which they are interested. (AI) Mark Scheible will send a note to the email list. There was also discussion about a webinar concerning the work plan. (AI) Dean ping Mark about scheduling.
Albert Wu discussed the working group report, which includes the results of the survey. He reported that there is already considerable activity for deploying OIDC and OAuth support. These broad categories emerged:
The working group recommends that Internet2 should build OIDC and OAuth (in addition to SAML) into TIER
About half of the respondents want to see InCommon develop OIDC/OAuth federation standards and practices.
The discussion made these points:
The working group will meet March 3 and discuss starting community review of this report, in order to have it completed by Global Summit. (AI) David Walker will follow up with the working group on this and also whether to schedule a webinar.
(AI) Nick Roy and Tom Barton will send their meeting summaries to the TAC list and answer questions on the next call.
