Ann West reported on the second TIER workshop held last week at the University of Florida. Thirteen campuses attended (CIOs and architects from each campus) and heard the TIER vision, completed an assessment tool for trust/identity maturity on their campus, and presented use cases. This group was particularly interested in support for adoption and integration with campus business processes and to meet stakeholder needs.
A group from the U.S. met with the GEANT TIC this week (Ann West, Steve Zoppi, Shel Waggener, Tracy Futhey, and Tom Barton) to discuss work being planned in the EU and how it might relate to TIER.
Ann reported that GEANT has a large amount of funding over the next seven years for trust and identity projects for EU NRENs. Discussions included streamlining access for SPs and centralization of services. Ann will share slides and action items from the meeting.

There was a continuation of last meeting’s discussion concerning the role and organization of TAC. Options discussed (and these are not mutually exclusive) included:
Two broad categories seem to have emerged: 1) address technical challenges and advise federation operations, and 2) determining how to help campuses implement federation in the appropriate way – operational outreach at the campus level.
There is also a concern that working groups do the work and issue reports and recommendations, but there is no process to ensure follow-up and implementation.
There is a need for TAC to spend time on some acute priorities for InCommon. For example:
