**Data Classification/Retention**

Space is now available on the wiki for data classification and data retention policies (https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Data+Management)

This is an area in which ITANA will be working on a white paper.

**Face2Face**
The face-to-face meeting is confirmed for June 18 at the Hilton in Minneapolis. There are links from both the wiki and the web site. There will be an Advanced CAMP after the Face2Face, but that is still in the planning stages. Videoconferencing is not available for this meeting. For future meetings, we will look for host institutions who have videoconferencing capability. Two possibilities exist for those not able to attend in person: 1) a volunteer can do running summaries on chat and bring up questions from those on the chat. 2) arrange for a one-way audio link and those listening could send questions back via chat.

Topics and discussion leaders for the Face2Face were fleshed out on the call. They include:

Case Studies: Architecture on Your Campus (Hebert Diaz-Flores): This session will focus on case studies from several institutions including descriptions of ongoing Enterprise Architecture programs in your university, any impacts the program has had/is having on your IT environment, and descriptions of specific projects that have been significantly impacted (positively) by the Enterprise Architecture program.

Tools of the Trade(Tom Barton): Showcase some of the tools, methodologies, artifacts, techniques or tactics that we use to engender increased architectural coherence across the infrastructures and business and operational processes we're connected with. The session will help us to think about the range of ways in which we might influence others by use of the tools with which we engage them.

Artifacts and Templates (Jim Phelps): We all create a variety of artifacts for our work. Share those artifacts and templates that you have found exceptionally useful in your work. Do you have something that seemed like a great idea but failed miserably? Tell us about why it failed and what you learned.

Data Management Working Group (Klara Jelinkova): There is a rich set of metadata and middleware needed to support the data classification we are starting to put in place. The need will become even greater once we develop the same classifications for all of our institutional data including research data. With collaborative research taking place everywhere how do we classify the research data, protect it while the research is going on and then enable everyone to see it after the research is published? How do we collaborate with libraries? How do we arrive at data management policies that cut across the whole institution? What are some of the examples of institutions doing it successfully today?

Security Architecture Hot Topics (Steve Kellogg): There are many elements that make up security architecture. The actual measures available and/or employed by the various institutions to secure our online applications make for interesting discussions. This session will look at Penn State's plans in regards to identity management, access control, and securing endpoints. Others may present on topics of network security measures, multi-tier service provisioning, social engineering, computer forensics, logging and log analysis, their respective take on ID and access management, and anything else they feel is relevant to security architecture.

**Data Management Working Group**
Klara will organize and lead a data management working group with the goal of developing a draft of a white paper data classification/data retention policies for the Face2Face.

**Thanks**
The working group thanked Jim Phelps and Ann West for pulling together the logistics of the Face2Face.

**Next Call - Thursday, March 20, 2008 - 2:30 p.m. EDT**
