Many public institutions are not allowed to agree to governance that is not within their state. Can this be reworded? 22 Group PA Participants have a choice and would sign a new agreement. Opt-out, we would send them the changes and propose a time when they would take effect. Either way, this the changes to this Agreement would be publicly vetted and discussed. opt-in/ 23 Ann PA Section 11: Is there an international impact on liability?

This is pretty ambiguous, can "as be required by federal and European law be added to the statement? privacy 26 All FOPP Section 10. Termination or Suspension: what does this mean in the international context? 27 Steven Recommended attributes for interoperability: Includes SCHAC attributes. What does InCommon want to recommend to our members? 28 Steven eduGAIN uses two metadata fields that are not required or different from what we do. (isRequired and MDUI) What does InCommon want to recommend to our members? 29 Steven What configuration should we recommend to our IdPs and SPs? 30 Bill Why is there an additional risk statement on the FOPP page? Can this be eliminated or incorporated into the policies in some way? Trust?
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.
