Introduction
The InCommon Deployment Profile working group was chartered by the InCommon Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) in the fall of 2016. The group was charged with creating a deployment profile that could be layered on top of the SAML 2.0 Deployment Profile, SAML2int, which was planned to receive a much-needed update. The working group would make the needs of the research and education (R&E) community known so that some could be incorporated into SAML2int; the remaining requirements would go into an R&E-specific deployment profile.
...
Finally, the working group recommends some well-planned marketing and incentives to help InCommon participants achieve compliance. This could involve adding items to Baseline Expectations as noted above, but it also could include a badge or signaling in metadata. As with SIRTFI, metadata signaling could be self-asserted. InCommon might also want to consider a Baseline+ certification; participants who don't meet the extra requirements won't be removed from the federation, but those who do will receive additional benefits. Adherence to many items in this profile might fall into that category.
