DRAFT Charter

The Attributes for Collaboration and Federation Working Group will:

  1. Recommend a default Attribute Release Policy (ARP) for InCommon participants

    1. R&S for R&S SPs

    2. Recommended ARP for all other SPs - in addition to, or a subset of, R&S

  2. Develop (and Execute*) a Roadmap for Adoption of Attribute Release Policies (using the draft Steering Roadmap as a starting point)

    1. Outreach [Steering] - Identify the needed stakeholder groups, and identify or create the content and use cases that can educate those groups.

    2. Survey [Working Group] - Possible survey of the community on why attributes are NOT being released - identify obstacles (maybe webinar?) - completed by campus stakeholders as well as IAM person.

    3. Consent [Working Group] - Determine where “Consent” fits into the roadmap

    4. Communication [ALL] - Create a communication plan to inform InCommon Participants of recommendations and steps being taken to enable basic federated access

  3. Review and enhance online content for IdP admins so they have a clear set of steps to follow to implement the desired approach (including possibly consent) once campus policy decisions have been approved.

  4. Discuss making some level of attribute release (e.g. R&S) part of a future version of the AAC’s Baseline Expectations for IdPs.


*Out-of scope for this Working Group is:

  1. [Phase 2 unless pulled into Current WG Tasks] - Consider collaborating with TIER software packaging and InCommon Ops to give stakeholders some control via a set of tools (e.g. local - similar to consent; new IC services (eg suggested Attribute Release Policies); etc)) to simplify and automate attribute release management.

  2. Depending on time required to complete above items, “Execution” of the Roadmap may be a Phase 2 effort (after Tech Exchange).
