Agenda Bash + request for notable working and advisory group updates
- TAC membership change
- Krysten is leaving her current role, so will be leaving the TAC. Recommended a colleague (Marina) to take her spot on TAC.
- TAC agreed to add Marina as a REN-ISAC SME for the remainder of this year. At the end of the year, the “SME term” will be considered to have expired (e.g., could be considered for inclusion in the more formal call for membership).
Status Updates - Q&A
- T&I
- I2 is doing a 5 year roadmap project. This is moving towards the final phase. Ongoing conversation in steering around “InCommon Futures” report. Somewhere downstream (this year) this project/document will come to TAC for comment/action.
- Community Chat

TechEx planning (submission deadline: 7 April 2023)
- Call for proposals is open until 4/7
- Joanne is T&I track lead
- Per Heather - no REFEDS side meeting
- Keith will get ball rolling for advisory group meeting - proposal is a joint session like in the past.
- Dave B indicated that CTAB is thinking along the same lines – they are getting thoughts together, esp “What happens after Baseline?”. Looking for input / interactive
- Albert - propose sharing what groups think will be important going forward. Pulling together and level setting is believed to be value
- Judith - There will likely be a browser change discussion – asking about the different styles. Discussion about the different types. Judith will ponder…
- Albert - SAML2Int/SubjectID/EntityCategory group will propose a session with Pål Axelsson (SUNet/SWAMID/Sweden) on entity categories
- No opposition to Keith’s proposal - David B will invite Keith et al to join the discussion.
- Reach out to CACTI? – yes, David/Keith will figure out logistics (Albert will flag down Nicole)
(10 min) TAC work plan theme (See meeting notes from 9 February to continue this discussion)
- Proposed: “Future proofing federation” Thoughts?
- General support.
- One concern (not a blocking one): Sounds a little defensive. (But not as much as “keeping federation relevant” :) )
- Some discussion around Opening a TAC store on etsy (there was not really… that does not go in the minutes)
(15 min) Updates/Discussion from the SAML2Int/SubjectID/EntityCategory group
- Good progress. Notes:
- Group focused on how to deploy/move forward with these changes (or maybe changes in general) in aspects of Federation participation
- Both of these proposals call for some form of formal changes/support at the federation level and from participants.
- Working on developing communications around rationale, benefits and steps required to support. Potentially a series of blog posts.
- Looking at taking a (generally) Agile approach. Try to pull in early adopters to PoC the work, then pull in more of the community after that.
- Will reconvene in two weeks.
- InCommon Ops will add support for the 3 attribute bundle entity categories in FM (i.e., SAs will be able to select them in FM when managing metadata) in coming weeks to let early adopters among us to work with them
- HOMEWORK: TAC members please read value statement and come prepared to support or - if not - to discuss specific points/concerns at the next meeting.
(20 min) Hackathon Q&A
- Did not get to the agenda item before the end of the meeting
Email Updates
InCommon Ops
From Nicole Roy:
Here are ops updates ahead of the next TAC call:
- We are in the process of doing QA on a Ruby upgrade in the FM, so far so good
- Next tasks will be around support for Baseline Expectations version 2 “loose ends”
- With increasingly short browser-mandated TLS certificate lifetimes, we have had to consider a change in how we do certificate pinning as part of our metadata signing process. I request that TAC members read/review and comment on the following change proposal from InCommon Ops: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sAVMz3GissjywoGYtlKECIQAN_PKyoqIPH0whhcAsFo/edit
We’ll discuss this on the next TAC call.
