DISCUSSION

Baseline Expectations (BE) update

InCommon is removing several non-BE adhering entities from the InCommon metadata today, per Albert’s email to CTAB.

InCommon staff is working with a few other entities  to help them meet Baseline Expectations.

Planning Baseline Expectations v2  

• Albert made edits to the draft Baseline Expectations (v2) document per discussion on the Sept 11, 2019  CTAB call

• There are a couple of outstanding wording/phrasing details to resolve.
• Brett’s blog on logo from May 2018 was helpful, explaining the intent https://www.internet2.edu/blogs/detail/15968
  • A blog on Error URL would be helpful
• Should we require the endpoints?  Suggestion to move that issue to the adherence guide
• Need better explanation of SIRTFI
• Explain why we are requiring an element and how you can meet that expectation
• Best not to change text around Baseline Expectations v1
• At next CTAB call, we should resolve the edits and move forward. 
• Will be  sure to put on CTAB agenda for next call
• The Adherence Guide still needs more work, though we might want to leave this as a working draft and continue to refine as community feedback comes in.

Please come and attend an open meeting of the Community Assurance and Trust Board (CTAB)! In this meeting we will discuss controversial new requirements for Baseline version 2, such as:

• SIRTFI
• REFEDS Multi-Factor Authentication Signaling
  
  

 should the abstract mention the importance of the community consensus process?
