Discussion  

• Do I need to worry about unpublished (offline) data for BEv2?

• Comment: Need info on the BEv2 requirements  
• Brett provided a summary of BEv2 requirements, making reference to the wiki 
  
  
• Issue:  CIO gets the emails from InCommon, and we can't get into anything without going through the CIO
• Question: Can there be multiple users for InCommon ?
• Albert: InCommon federation allows two roles  (InCommon Executive and Site Admins) and up to three individuals. Albert can help with providing more info  on getting the roles straightened out.
  
  
• Two other organizations represented on the call also stated they need to update their InCommon roles/contacts info
  
  
• Question, what is the timeframe for BEv2?
• Answer: we hope all participants meet the BEv2 expectations by end of 2021, see wiki for a list of key dates
  
  
• Question: Are SPs we deal with outside of InCommon in scope?  
• Answer: InCommon is  looking at entities registered in InCommon; but BEv2 provide guidelines for good practice in all cases
  
  
• Question: How often is the adherence by organization wiki page refreshed?
• Answer: weekly on Mondays, with data from Friday
• Suggestion to add the info on when updated, to the page. Albert will do this
  
  
• Question: we got an email saying we are not meeting BEv2, how do I find out which requirements we are not meeting?
