TAC approved, via an email vote, the new eduGAIN export policy (8 agree and no dissent) Resolved: InCommon Operations should modify the federation manager to require that entity descriptors contain at least a technical contact in order to be exported to eduGAIN. InCommon Operations should notify the Site Administrators of any organization that currently exports entity descriptors that do not have a technical contact, and ask them to add one, or uncheck the "export this metadata to eduGAIN" checkbox, before November 14, 2018. Note that any currently exported entity descriptors that do not have a technical contact after this date will be administratively removed from export to eduGAIN by InCommon Operations on this date." |
The latest release of the Federation Manager deleted all reference to the POP. The next release will have a function to automatically approve some metadata changes.

Deployment Profile
WG is ramping down and working on the final report, to be presented by the end of the calendar year.
The WG discussed the logo requirements for SAML2int and backed out some of the recommendations. They plan to approach REFEDS about a working group concerning logo requirements. RA21 is also looking at logo requirements and will make a recommendation.
REFEDS Federation 2.0 - No update.
Heather and Keith proposed a TAC response to the report (see draft response, columns M and N). A summary:
Need a research representative on TAC
Create an SP/Research focused WG to provide a place to discuss those issues
Intra-campus communication and delegation of control to campus departments and VOs needs to be prioritized. This would also apply to libraries.
Consider adding SIRTFI as a requirement for Baseline Expectations
TAC is being asked to review the current responses and propose any further responses by COB Tuesday, October 2.
Goal is to have a FIM4R response written for TechEx

Nominations slate and recruiting at TechEx
Chair and co-chair potentials
IdP as a Service WG
Other items for a work plan
TAC members - consider other items that would be best done face-to-face vs. a call
Please make any nominations on the wiki. Also start thinking about potential chair and co-chair
Nominations email will go out on October 1 - to participants list and maybe the EDUCAUSE IdM list
TAC members should consider their cohorts for potential nominees
Particularly research-oriented
Also security role
Check with campus champions group (research) (AI - Nick sync up with Tom Barton)
Where does federation fit with respect to commercial IdP products (Google, Azure, AD, etc). Where does InCommon fit and what value do we provide that vendors don’t?
Layer on top of SAML, OIDC, etc?
Will impact future work
Will be on the next agenda
