• The next REFEDs Community Chat is scheduled for 17 November 2022 about how REFEDS develops its annual work plan.
• The next in-person REFEDS meeting is scheduled for 5 December 2022 before TechEx. Nicole Harris and Heather Flanagan are close to announcing the agenda for the day. Please register! https://internet2.edu/2022-technology-exchange/

IIW and the OpenID Workshop

• The next IIW meeting is scheduled for 15-17 November 2022 in its usual location of Mountain View, California. There will definitely be a strong contingent of people interested in talking about browser tech and government-issued credentials as they relate to privacy considerations. 
• The OpenID Foundation is planning a workshop the Monday before IIW (14 November 2022). Registration is required. https://openid.net/2022/10/24/workshop-at-visa-monday-november-14-2022/ 

Misc

• The OpenID Foundation, partnered with the Kantara Initiative and several other organizations (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), OIX, Beyond Identity Coalition), is moving ahead with the white paper on government-issued credentials and the privacy landscape. While not immediately relevant to the R&E space, it might be of interest purely from the perspective of "what are governments going to be advised to do, and where will protocol and policy development be encouraged going forward?" 

Browser Interactions

From Heather Flanagan:

The FedID CG is spending quite a bit of time right now on IdP discovery and how the browser can make sure that the relationship between the RP and IdP is appropriate and approved by the user. The higher ed use case is one of the more difficult ones to solve for here, and no decisions have been made yet. See https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/issues/319 and comment if interested.

Next Call November 17, 2022
