Main Agenda:

1.  Steve Zoppi from Internet2 provided a presentation that documented the history of Internet2.  He touched on InCommon.  In 1998 a middleware collaborative network was established which also established a robust human network.  There are now 100,000 + community anchor institutions.  This effort produced Single Sign-On access.
   
   
2. The focus of the presentation is the landscape is becoming more complex in higher education. 1000 institutions are now involved.
   1. More institutional skills are needed and there are more architectural needs.
      
      
3. There is sustainable funding through Internet2
   
   
4. The next phase in Cloud-NET + Cloud Services.  The Community defines needs.
   
   
5. The next steps:
   
   1. Jim Phelps:  This is a thumbnail history of the Internet backbone and Internet2 worked to solve the Identity Problem through Shibboleth, Net +and the leverage of vendor contracts, response to various challenges. 20 years in 20 minutes

         1. Connect with working groups.  

      3. Idea #3:  A Help Wanted Program
9. Jim:  Opportunity, time bought out.  Can Itana be a pool of expert architects that can be leveraged by other institutions?
   
10. Questions and Feedback: 
    1. Louis King:  We need to determine what are the incentive aspects of a potential collaboration.  There could be a mix of the 3 options
       
       
    2. Mary Stevens: Some staff has been voluntold they had to go to the training
       
       
    3. Jim:    There is an opportunity for peer exposure
       
       
    4. J.J.:  This program is a good fit based upon Itana’s charter
       
       
    5. Mary Stevens:  They can help facilitate communication
       
       
    6. J.J.:  What things would not make this effort successful?
       
       
    7. Mary Stevens:  Some dragons. Internet 2 does not want to certify people.  They are not that kind of organization
       
       
    8. Louis King:  Complexity of exchange of $$ between an architect and another university.  A complexity to think about
       
       
    9.  Mary Stevens;  5 different types of engagement
       
       
    10.  Louis King:  Opportunity for Itana to draw closer to Internet2 enterprise capabilities.  Bring I2 conversations into Itana. Extend the architecture community. Opportunity for the relationship to be tighter through this program
        
        
    11. Mary Stevens:  May provide an opportunity to gain experience outside of one's institution
        
        
    12. Jim:  Opportunity for personal development
        
        
    13. Betsy Draper:  An opportunity for training architects.  The opportunity for in-house development is limited.  This could provide boots on the ground training. We all come from different places and experience is critical in this career field
        
        
    14. Mary Stevens:  Capstone projects
        
        
    15.  Jim:  What is the roadmap?  What does this look like in a year or so?
        
        
    16. Chris Eagle:  Select one of the options and work with Itana to figure out how to implement it.  We are open to ideas
        
        
    17. Jim: Jim will talk with Chris Eagle about the next step
