Internet2 Intellectual Property Framework
http://www.internet2.edu/policies/intellectual-property-framework/

Welcome and Introductions

Thanks to those CACTI members who sent a 100-200 word bio to the CACTI email list
. Tom Barton is interim chair, just until CACTI elects a chair
. TomB will not be a candidate for CACTI chair
. Part of rejuvenation of trust and identity advisory structure is a new chair
. See more below on the process.

CACTI Charter - Kevin

• CACTI charter
• Diagram of How it All Fits Together

  • https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/CACTI/CACTI+Resources?preview=/110337263/110337930/howitallfitstogether.png
  • It’s a relationship diagram, not an org chart

  • Size of a bubble does not relate to its importance


• Key elements of CACTI charter

  • Provide strategic architectural input

  • Create and manage community working groups 

    • List of working groups is here

  • Manage and evolve community standards for Internet2 T&I

  • Foster relationships nationally and internationally
  • Broadly share information of relevance
    
    Additional thoughts:
    • International representation will be helpful in coordinating globally

    • Multi directional communications will be important in this diverse and active landscape; listening, informing
    • 
Important to be open and transparent in materials we create and in process
. Transparency

 is an important principle of CACTI
    • Educating and increasing awareness is key to create bigger army of people who are identity aware


• Why are we here? Just to keep in mind… too early to answer


• • • What are some of the problems or tasks you think we should address in our first year? 

    • What are some of the ways we'll know that our first year has been successful?


Learning Curve

• There may be a steep learning curve for CACTI members 

  • Kevin, Ann West and Tom Barton are happy to have additional conversations one-on-one to answer questions and do additional orientation for CACTI members. Don’t hesitate to reach out

  • It’s an advantage to understand how people new to Internet2 Trust and Identity need much explanation of terms

Other groups to know about

• New Trust and Identity Program Advisory Group (PAG)

"Identerati" 
There may be areas the R&E sector wants to stay connected with like with OpenID
, Kantara and OASIS but we
 can’t always do this with our own hands
. The hope is to leverage Identerati (external identity experts) to keep the professional network graph connected
.

. 
• Period for nominations: today (June 13) until Tuesday, June 20, 2017
