DISCUSSION
Welcome Jessica Coltrin, Internet2 InCommon Advocacy Program Manager
Baseline Expectations V2 - solicitation for community input
- There are now 12 responses,
- “What SSO software do you use” question has many different responses
- SIRTFI, response shows there is interest in a year
- Encryption - six out of 12 say do this (add it to Baseline) in next 12 months
- Possible confusion around the MFA question, whether you must support MFA or be able to respond to it
- CTAB should remember that Strong Authentication is a better term than MFA
- Key takeaway: CTAB should be clearer about what the proposed baseline expectations amount to
- Does using Shib UI fulfill the item on “provide metadata support”?
- Suggestion to send a reminder of the survey to the participants list.
- This reminder email should state the closing date for the survey
- Email of July 8, 2019 did not specify a closing date for the survey
- Suggestion for a different sender (CTAB member) for the reminder email
- Community Consensus process will help clarify some issues that are not crystal clear
- In the reminder email, David will correct the broken link to community consensus process and explain what community consensus process is about
- Deadline for survey responses - Friday, July 26
- Ann: suggestion to add more open ended language to the survey.
- We will need to communicate as well as possible for the Community Consensus
- [AI] David Bantz send the reminder email on the BE v2 Survey , then Tom & others on CTAB reply to that.
- [AI] TomB will copy FIM4R in reply to the reminder to respond to the BE v2 input survey]
Baseline Expectations: update on 7/15/2019 entity removals
- 9 entities (from 6 orgs) were removed yesterday
- Just one IDP (test IDP from ServiceNow) does not meet Baseline, all remaining IDPs now meet baseline
- A little cleanup still to do
- For bilateral SPs we may leave those alone. Updates cannot be made to those SPs without complying with Baseline.
CTAB roster for 2020 - recruitment, election, etc.
Joint work with SIRTFI around metadata accuracy:
- See CTAB notes from June 5, 2019 https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/aYA5CQ
- Proposal was: SIRTFI and CTAB work together on exploring these issues of accurate, fresh metadata, for SIRTFI and then take the learnings to other federations to make this a global issue.
- ScottK was hoping for a group to figure out how to make this work
- Are there things that can be included in a message ?
- Mario at GEANT wrote a tool, but that is just one element.
- What is the best gate for this work?
- Something describing what process might be implemented in operations,
- A periodic email could be one part of this, requires some brainstorming
- Recent description of Von Welch cybersecurity workshop, using a war game approach
- Should we pick some random SPs and IDPs to participate in an exercise?
- AI Albert will convene CTAB and SIRTFI Task Force around metadata accuracy
- Volunteers are David Bantz , ChrisW, Albert, ScottK and TomB volunteer,
Albert will convene the group
Next CTAB call: Wed. July 31, 2019
