CTAB nominations / recruiting
- So far two nominations for CTAB have been received,
- one is from a current CTAB member with an term expiring who would like to serve another term
- From last year, there were some CTAB nominations we did not accept due to voting results.
- David and Albert will review those and reach out to those individuals.
- Hope to have relatively balanced representation of community stakeholders.
- It will be helpful to think ahead to topics CTAB will want to focus on in coming years, such as security.
- Those CTAB members with expiring terms: Pal, Ercan, Richard F, Chris W, Robert Z, Jule,
- Albert will chat with Ann and Kevin about whether there are known issues with Federal employees serving on an advisory board. If there are not issues, Chris W has some contacts he will reach out to.
Baseline Expectations V2 - review outstanding lists; starting to develop recommendations to Steering
- Albert reached out to some IDPs on the non compliant entities list.
- Most did not respond.
- In some cases, emails are bouncing. One responded and is now compliant
- Albert will now start to reach out to some SPs who are not compliant, the best way is via their customers (the campus IDPs they work with).
- Albert will start sending a formal notice to some of the entities that CTAB members have reached out to.
- At next CTAB call, we should compile recommendations for InCommon Steering of entities that may need to be threatened with removal / removed.
- Process for removal:
- for Baseline Expectations V1, we unpublished entities due to be removed then watch for potential storms.
- Last time there were no storms, no one complained.
- But for BEV1 we had a smaller number of entities, and no IDPs to be removed.
- Some entities have responded to CTAB outreach, but have not completed the final step to come into compliance.
Further brainstorming on TechEx
- There was a CTAB members dinner at TechEx 2019 in New Orleans
- Albert will help coordinate a CTAB members dinner for Tuesday evening Dec. 6, 2022
- Looking ahead - What will CTAB focus on in 2023 to carry forward the mission?
- E.g., how do we make MFA real?
- Others?
- Open CTAB meeting at TechEx
Next CTAB Call: Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022
