Subject: Updated InCommon Assurance v1.2 Documents Available for Public Review
Representatives from a number of InCommon participating schools have proposed revisions to the two foundational documents of the InCommon Identity Assurance program. The goal is to simplify Bronze to enable rapid deployment. The candidate v1.2 releases of the InCommon Identity Assurance Assessment Framework (IAAF) and the InCommon Identity Assurance Profiles (IAP) are open for comment now through 5pm ET May 7, 2012. The InCommon community is encouraged to give feedback. Please see the FAQ for copies of the documents and additional information about the revisions and the process.
Community DIscussions have been scheduled:
Thursday April 19 Noon ET - Introduction to the release candidates

We have also developed a FAQ to answer questions about the revisions, including:

- How can I comment?
Thank you
The community wishes to thank the schools that have been working on these updates – the Committee for Institutional Cooperation (CIC)'s Silver Audit team, which includes the Big Ten plus the University of Chicago, along with the University of Washington and Virginia Tech. The University of California schools have also been engaged in providing audit feedback. We also wish to thank the review committee for updates to the framework and accompanying profiles, and the auditor representatives on the Assurance Advisory Committee for providing guidance for their peers.
