The minutes from the May 2014 meeting were approved.
Jacob Farmer, vice chair of the Assurance Advisory Committee, reviewed a= n AAC recommendation to extend Virginia Tech=E2=80=99s assurance certificat= ion for an addition year (expiring Sept. 9, 2016). Virginia Tech=E2=80=99s = compliance currently expires on Sept. 9, 2015 and must queue up now with th= e auditor in order to meet that date. The AAC will use this additional year= to review potential methods for re-certification that may not require a re= -audit.
The recommendation was approved unanimously.
The AAC also recommends adoption of an alternative means for Bronze and = Silver that would allow the use of the SHA-1 algorithm through January 15, = 2015. This will allow the support for this legacy protocol as IdPs and SPs = move to SHA-2. Currently, Shibboleth will not allow for support of both pro= tocols.
The recommendation was approved unanimously.
(AI) Dean will add an agenda item for August 2014 to revisit the progres= s of the move to SHA-2.
John Krienke reviewed issues related to FICAM, which has made changes to= the Trust Framework Provider criteria (InCommon is such a provider) with a= six-month compliance window. InCommon is working to determine how the new = compliance standards will affect the federation and its participants.
In addition, FICAM, without notice, downgraded the two FICAM compliant I= nCommon IdPs, Virginia Tech and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, = to =E2=80=9Ctoken managers.=E2=80=9D This affects other TFPs, as well, incl= uding Kantara, Safe BioPharma, and OIX. The downgrade could affect the abil= ity to attract certain federal grants. InCommon has opted not to participat= e in a joint letter with the other TFPs, but to send a letter under Shel=E2= =80=99s signature objecting to the downgrade without first communicating to= the TFP and IdPs.
Interfederation (e.g. operating within eduGAIN) will require legal, poli= cy and technical modifications for InCommon. Work is in progress both on te= chnical changes needed and proposed legal and policy changes. As policy aut= hority for InCommon, Steering will approve any proposed changes to the InCo= mmon Participation Agreement and the Federation Operating Policies and Prac= tices (FOPP). The policy changes are being discussed with Internet2 legal, = then will be provided to Steering for comments. John Krienke and Ann West w= ill also be recommending a process to use for these changes.
Ken Klingenstein reported on issues being confronted with the science vi= rtual organizations. One such VO, LIGO, has worked with InCommon for severa= l years, embracing federated identity and attracting the attention of other= VOs. With the slow uptake on the Research and Scholarship Category by IdPs= , however, LIGO is spending a lot of time negotiating attribute release. LI= GO will be accessing the eduGAIN metadata through the Swedish federation an= d will also deploy a social identity option for researchers.
Steering discussed ways to quickly get more IdPs to release the R&S = attributes. Some of the barriers seem to be 1) communicating with IdP opera= tors and not CIOs, and 2) schools mis-interpreting FERPA as apply to these = attributes (which, on most campuses, would be considered directory informat= ion).
This is a pressing need. (AI) Jack and Klara will draft a CIO message fo= r approval before the next Steering meeting.
This group will have its first meeting next week.
(AI) Dean will pencil in a Steering meeting adjacent to the REFEDS meeti= ng and also place this topic on the agenda for the July call.
(AI) Steve Zoppi will share a summary of the submitted budget.
