Trust and Identity Ops Update

• A DCV issue arose with a complaint from an IdP operator. A sponsored partner (vendor) is an InCommon participant and is contracted to run an SP for the campus. The vendor registered that SP under the campus DNS tree. The campus completed the DCV validation process. Campus site admin is concerned because “their” DNS was used to name an SP in another participant’s account and they weren't informed.
• Question is: is this something that InCommon needs to protect against? The DCV process does allow for this specific kind of cross-registration, so it is not counter to the current process. 
• Seems to be reasonable practice. 
• Is there any need for notification if an SP is registered in an account with a DNS name that matches some other member’s IdP’s “scope” domain? 
• For now, seems like nothing needs to change.
• MDQ refresh - had a situation where an IdP operator accidently deleted their IdP just before metadata signing on a Friday. Metadata was published. A prominent research SP consumed the new metadata and things broke over the weekend. Because of the signing process, even though there was an emergency publication of metadata, the MDQ still wasn’t updated until 5 pm ET on Monday. New process - MDQ will be refreshed hourly.

TAC Nominations

• Janemarie sent an email to TAC outlining the methodology for the ballot
• We will elect four. If a fifth person has a high enough total, we could bring in a fifth person for 2020 which would still only bring the total TAC membership to 12 (13 is allowed)
• Went through the nominees last time
