Project Goals

There was a general discussion about setting goals and benchmarks for future work and setting out a detailed path for the working group.

Specifically, the working group agreed there needs to be a discussion about deliverables, a plan for developing those deliverables, and a timeline for completion. There are some natural benchmarks, driven by planned presentations, including EDUCAUSE and the Internet2 Member Meeting in October 2008, and the NASIG and ALA meetings in June 2009.

There seems to be consensus on what procedures are usable and what the working group would want to implement. Some of the issues discussed:

Testing / Issue Identification

SP Standards

Shibboleth Standards and requests

Documentation
