The InCommon Steering Committee approved the new 1.2 versions of the Identity Assurance Assessment Framework and Identity Assurance Profiles.

One of the primary goals for this revision is to simplified the deployment of Bronze (LoA1) for Identity Provider Operators by, among other things, eliminating the audit requirement. The next step is to send these to the US Government Identity Credential and Access Management Program for their review and to continue InCommon's certification as a trust framework provider using this new specification.
