REFEDS Sir-T-Fi Framework
The REFEDS Sir-T-Fi Framework Consultation closes December 8. TAC members are encouraged to “Plus-1” if things look OK, as this will help in a future stage of the plan (for instance, if it eventually goes to ITEF). InCommon Ops does not see any problem from the federation manager point of view.
(AI) Nick will reply to Sir-T-Fi consultation list that this is something InCommon would encourage participants to adopt.
REFEDS 2016 work plan
https://wiki.refeds.org/display/WOR/2016+Work+Plan+Preparation
(AI) Keith will submit an item concerning portability of IDs as part of IdPs of last resort.
There was a discussion about submitting something concerning user consent, but it was decided that this is work item that InCommon needs to address internally for now, particularly working on a federation-level policy.
Draft TAC Charter
The TAC approved the draft charter. (AI) Steve will forward to Steering and ask for placement on their December 2015 agenda for approval.
There was discussion about membership for 2016. The proposal is to develop a recommended list for TAC members and forward that to Steering, but there was no consensus as to the process at this point. (AI) TAC will discuss this on the email list prior to the next meeting (December 10).

Nick has two recommendations from the Ops review:

- Monthly all-InCommon staff meetings (first one in December)
