Minutes from the April 6-7, 2014, meeting were approved.
Information Item – Research & Scholarship Category
The process for approving service providers for the R&S category was approved by the External Relations and Governance (ERG) subcommittee. If there is no question about an SP’s eligibility, staff will review and approve the application. If there are questions, staff will take the application to TAC. If TAC cannot resolve the questions, the application will go to Steering.
Information Item – Affiliates
During 2013, an Affiliate proposed providing services in lieu of paying the $6,000 annual Affilaite fee. Those services were used by the Scalable Privacy project. The same Affiliate proposed a similar arrangement for 2014. Staff recommends not entering into such relationships, but instead offering a payment plan, if that would be helpful to the Affiliate. ERG agreed.
...
While this work continues, Steering will remain focused on the InCommon portfolio. ERG is discussing communication to CIOs and/or participants to ensure that there is no confusion about the status of InCommon – that InCommon will continue. Any broad communication about TIER will wait until after the TIER charter is completed.
Program Subcommittee Report
The 2014 priorities are now in the hands of Internet2 (John Krienke and Steve Zoppi) to validate that they are achievable. Once that has been vetted, the ERG subcommittee will take responsibility for communications. This process (including Internet2 validation of achievability) will be part of the priority-setting process in future years.
...
Klara commended the Program Subcommittee for its work in developing the priorities and the process for priority setting.
ERG Subcommittee Report
As noted, ERG will take up the 2014 priorities, once they have been vetted with Internet2.
By the next meeting, Chris Holmes will have a revised charter and bylaws, as well as recommendations for the LLC.
Apereo Statement of Intent
Ann West provided an outline of her discussions with Ian Dophin of Apereo, an open source development community, concerning the potential to work together. There is nothing concrete, but a sense that the organizations have some common interests. It might be beneficial to have a statement of understanding or letter of intent. Ann and Ian will continue to talk, but Steering will hold off on any formal arrangement until after the TIER charter is completed.
