Discussion

Announcements and Updates

• Linking SSO WG update (Rob, Chris, Les)

  • There will be an effort to put together a collection of common scenarios with pros and cons, and where they’re useful.

    • It’s not so much which is better, more the pluses and minuses in different scenarios.

    • Group members have already filled out forms describing their scenarios; this will be a synthesis.

• Subject identifier adoption group update 

  • No known progress; TAC canceled their last meeting, due to BaseCAMP and TNC.

  • CACTI can put this off as a standing item, if it’s not moving forward right now.

    • This seems to be a global phenomenon of people wanting to work on important problems, but don't have the time.

• Community scribing and shifting I2 staffing arrangements

  • Need to move away from leaning on I2 for scribing, as Netta and Erin are leaving I2, and David's planned move away from scribing starts after this meeting.

  • There will be more information from Ann in the near future.

• CACTI liaison to CTAB - biweekly meetings, Tuesdays when CACTI does not  meet

  • Mike is CACTI’s new liaison to CTAB.

• Should we meet on July 5?

  • It looks like we’ll have a quorum, so the meeting will be held.

Read-outs from BaseCamp and TNC (in lieu of Community Update)

• BaseCamp (Nicole, Steve, et al)
  • It was the largest of the four so far. 118 people. 22.5 hours. Almost as impactful as CAMP in terms of outreach and establishing relationships.
  • There were a number of instances of people becoming more interested in the Campus Success Program and the Trusted Access Platform.
• TNC (Nicole, Chris, et al)
  • Kevin posted some links in the chat:
    • Presentation slides: https://refeds.org/meetings/44th
    • Presentation recordings: https://tnc22.geant.org/recordings/
    • Interview with Ukranian participants: https://tnc22.geant.org/recordings/?session=s1 @23:50
    • Lightning talk from the South African federation: https://tnc22.geant.org/recordings/?session=s2  @1:03:30
  • Chris sent his reflections to the CACTI mailing list: TNC22 Reflections
  • There were over 700 attendees. A lot of very good discussion.
  • There was a good, impromptu meeting with Kevin, Ann, Heather, Nicole, and Seamless Access. A good example of the value of gathering people in close proximity.

Themes

• CEO Forum Redux (Kevin M + All)

1. • Kevin shared the following graph as a method for framing discussions with CEO Forum and higher education executive management:

1. • We’ve been focused on yellow portion. In fact, many in our field see only the yellow portion. There are threats, however, that affect the green and blue portions.

Next Meeting: Tuesday, July 19, 2022
