Will publishing of InCommon IdPs and SPs into eduGAIN be opt-in or opt-out? 
In particular, if we make publishing metadata into eduGAIN and pulling metadata from eduGAIN opt-in activities, it seems to me we might be able to simply have separate agreements and operating procedures for those efforts. It also seems to me as though we can start asking those IdPs and SPs that choose to participate what added value might be of most benefit to them.

Policy Development

 

Warren

 

Will eduGAIN metadata feeds be aggregated into the InCommon feed or pulled separately by InCommon IdPs and SPs?

InCommon Practices

 

Warren

 

Will InCommon simply publish the metadata as it arrives from eduGAIN, or will it add value, by, for instance:
   a) filtering eduGAIN metadata (to remove malformed metadata or metadata that does not comply with InCommon standards/expectations, metadata from commercial enterprises entering through other federations, etc?)
   b) negotiating attributes release policies, entity category tags, SAML versions, hash algorithms, etc with other eduGAIN participating federations.
   c) interpreting legal obligations related to PII or other attribute release from other federations to make it easier for InCommon IdPs and SPs.
   d) other similar value-adding activities.

Research SPs and making sure that the ease of obtaining attribute release that the Research and Scholarship category has enabled within InCommon expands to the international arena.

Section 9. I suspect "privacy" rules are the biggest impact from a regulation standpoint. What are eduGains requirements from their participants in this area?

[Donald's response] 

Based on what is written in the "Discussion of the issues" document, it seems eduGAIN does not have strict standards for membership however the community members appear to self govern (http://www.edugain.org/technical/status.php). I looked at a few of the member statements on privacy/security and they seem similarly worded to the InCommon requirements. I may look at this as any other agreement between providers in that if I really want to federate with another organization I am going to research their policies and procedures even if they are a member. I think federation simply makes it easier to do so.

Section 7: Federation Rules - Do we need to allude to other federations here or let the responsibility for applying those rules rest on InC to promulgate?

[Bill's response] 

I think this is a key issue. As an InCommon Participant I do want to understand "who" are registered and "where" they are registered, which could impact "what" I register. But I realize that comes with a price of additional administration because the "where" could be international. InC providing the brokering services would be valuable in my mind.

[Donald's response] 

I agree with Bill that InCommon could broker this whether it be through an attribute that identifies the eduGAIN entities, and may also keep from having to maintain separate metadata for eduGAIN members. Could this also resolve the opt in/opt out question?

Section 9. This is pretty ambiguous, can "as be required by federal and European law be added to the statement?
