Maturing Federation Brainstorming (continued from previous CTAB meetings)

  • CTAB voted on the proposed items (sticky notes) on the mural
  • Everyone had 5 votes
  •  Items that got top votes:
    •   5 votes:
      • “SaaS providers conflicting model of federation” combined with “how do we challenge ID Providers or SPs who just want people in their walled garden”
      • Document successful scalable use of entitlements 
    •   3 votes:
      • Federal agencies, do we do more?
      • What do brand new federation participants need to do to be Federation Ready?
      • SPs trusting IDPs
      • What is the purpose of federation for some participants? (eg small schools)
    • Next steps:
      • take top vote getting items and put in document
      • Expand on use cases and specifics
      • Some of these items may not be in scope for CTAB
      •       Some may be more suited to InCommon TAC,  Steering or CACTI  

  • AI David, Jon and Albert will document the top items for further exploration/definition
