InCommon Practices Warren Will InCommon simply publish the metadata as it arrives from eduGAIN, or will it add value, by, for instance: InCommon Practices/ Communication/ InCommon Role/ Von 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.

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.
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.
