*Ken's Report*
Ken reported that there is a proposal to fund an international effort to look at interfederation activities.
There is plan being advanced by the UK on developing an EduID mechanism. This may be an interim step until discovery is enhanced.
Nate has been helping the iPlant Collaborative in working with Shibboleth. That's going well and iPlant has expressed interest in COmanage.
When we have a COmanage project person on board, Ken will continue to explore Internet2 or InCommon offering COmanage as a service.
There is agreement that the attribute and identity space is something the campuses and VOs want to maintain. There is some uncertainty, for the COmanage service offering, on where applications should live and be maintained.
Ken suggests that invitation issues/options should be discussed with Niels and others. De-provisioning and issues (e.g. privacy, compliance) around the release of personally identifiable attributes in the international context are important considerations. Michael provided an overview of the MOIRA registry system -- reflected into the directory -- at MIT.
Ken noted that the issue has arisen of packing attributes into an X.509 certificate for consumption by an application that is not compatible with LDAP or SAML. See https://go.teragrid.org/ for information on how TeraGrid is handling this.
*COmanage FAQ*
SteveO is working on updating the COmanage FAQ.
[AI] (All) provide input to SteveO on the COmanage FAQhttp://middleware.internet2.edu/co/faq.html
*Documentation*
Heather will follow up with Penn State folks on documentation status.
*Advance CAMP*
Advance CAMP: Second Identity Services Summit is June 23-25, in Raleigh, NC. Ann remarked that the program committee wants someone from the COmanage team to participate in the Advance CAMP -- possibly giving a lightning talk, possibly leading a discussion on the second day of CAMP.
Most likely, the new hire for the COmanage project will fill this role.
Next Call: Friday, 30-April-2010
