BE2 Status (Dockets, Exception Requests, Outreach Signups, Missing Elements)

  • https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/be/
  • Currently at 90% adoption for Baseline Expectations v2 (secure endpoints not included in this)
  • Some institutions are working on becoming compliant with BEv2
  • Albert is maintaining the dispute resolution docket
  • Some institutions that are not yet in compliance have requested and received an extension until February 17, 2022
  • A good chunk of those not in compliance fall under some big college systems 
  • Outreach is underway
  • Outreach around BEv2 can be frustrating when contact info is out of date or contacts do not respond
  • Eventually CTAB will likely need to provide InCommon Steering with  a recommendation, such as to remove entities from metadata, as was done for Baseline Expectation V1
  • Albert  plans to make automated “housekeeping” (checking) of InCommon metadata a priority. 
    • Will be helpful to automatically  check contacts, logo, error URL etc.  


Action: each CTAB member provide update on the organizations assigned to them in docket
