TechEx Face-to-Face?

There may be interest in a TAC meeting during TechEx if there are agenda items that would benefit from such a meeting. The proposed time is Wednesday, Oct. 7, 11:20 pm - 1:30 pm, which overlaps a general session and lunch. We’ll leave that time for now. Another option if the agenda is light is to have a TAC lunch in a private room.

Operationalizing eduGAIN

Certificate Service Update

(AI) Paul will draft a new charter for the PKI Subcommittee, including putting out a call for new subcommittee members (to better represent Certificate Service subscribers)

A new domain approval process is circulating internally, with a possible move to DCV.

Federation Interoperability Working Group

Nick reported that the WG will begin meeting Monday, Aug. 10, at 10 am ET and continue meeting weekly. Walter Hoehn is chairing the group, and there is also interest from Roland Hedberg and Nicole Harris in participating. Several companies are also participating.

TLS and trust framework

Nick sent an email summarizing this issue (how the fingerprint and public key for metadata signing are distributed). The group discussed a number of options for distributing the fingerprint, but Nick is comfortable with the current situation for now.

Making Shib Easier (Paul)

(AI) Steve Zoppi, Steve Carmody, and Paul Caskey will come back to TAC in two weeks with a proposal along these lines.
