Baseline Expectations

• Transitioning the Community  

• Brett send email to InCommon participants list announcing the Dec. 14, 2018 for meeting Baseline Expectations

• Roadmap

• https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/BE/Baseline+Processes+Roadmap

• Thanks to ErinM for updating the roadmap

• Should we extend this roadmap into 2019?

• Perhaps not

• Changes in the Federation Manager to require elements, hard vs soft validation

Requesting Extensions for meeting Baseline Expectations

• Idea of having an extension request form for requesting an extension for meeting Baseline Expectations

• Include link to this extension request form in the health check emails

• Collect a clear indication - who is responsible - if an organization requests an extension

• Ask for a reason - why you need an extension - help see what is holding people up

• Ask for a specific date that you plan to meet the expectations

• no more than three months out?

• The date will provide an opportunity for contact

• Collect the name of entity - entityID (use a copy and paste)

List of Entities meeting baseline

• 73% of IDPs

• 43% of SPs

• Thanks to JimB for this tweet  https://twitter.com/JimBasney/status/1043161695428993026

Federation manager and Baseline Expectations

• A feature will be added to the federation manager to help with addressing lacking metadata. No date for this yet.

• Brett  spoke with Nick Roy over Slack about harder validation checks.

• Currently there is a warning (soft validation).  

• Nick expressed concern about adding more complexity if we want Federation manager to accept a reason for lacking a certain metadata element.

• Q: What about for initial submission of a new entity versus handling of an established entity?

• A: that was not discussed

• When the time is right, CTAB can  ask InCommon to switch from soft validation to where Federation Manager does not allow submission when metadata is lacking.
