• Working groups are generally the best place to start; participation is usually open to all interested parties. Many of InCommon's governance and advisory groups rely on time-bounded working groups to address various issues of current interest. Your time commitment is generally an hour-long conference call every week or two, plus whatever additional time you choose to contribute according to your specific interests. See Trust and Identity Working Groups List for current working groups; new groups are announced to the participants@incommon.org mailing list. 
• InCommon has standing advisory groups with more formal membership criteria and processes. Solicitations for new members are generally announced on the participants@incommon.org mailing list. See the advisory groups' web sites for more information:
  • InCommon Technical Advisory Committee
  • Community Trust and Assurance Board (CTAB)
  • InCommon Steering Committee
  • CACTI - Community Architecture Committee for Trust and IDentity
  • Trust and Identity Program Advisory Group
• REFEDS (the Research and Education FEDerations group) is the voice that articulates the mutual needs of research and education identity federations worldwide. The group represents the requirements of research and education in the ever-growing space of access and identity management, working with and influencing the direction of other organisations on behalf of our participants.REFEDS participants are from a wide range of backgrounds, but all share an interest in developing access and identity management technology, policies and processes. Many participants represent national identity federations and many come from National Research and Education Networks (‘NRENS’).
