Recommendations from Interfederation Working Group

  • The working group reviewed the declaration, constitution, metadata profile from eduGAIN, as did Internet2’s legal office.
  • The working group recommends that InCommon sign the eduGAIN declaration. This recommendation will go to Steering. Steering will discuss on April 6.
  • This will require some modifications to the InCommon FOPP and the InCommon Participation Agreement
  • Once the declaration is approved, there are a number of technical issues to work through
  • (AI) TAC accepted the report and asked Steve to send it to Steering with strong support for signing the eduGAIN declaration
  • (AI) Steve will send, on behalf of TAC, a thank-you to Warren Anderson for his efforts
