NH noted that there are some 'issues' with the software regarding the usage of SAMLJS, which will be forked by Yaco

• Monitoring work items.

• • MET - Most of the work has been done although the final result is not what we hoped to get. The software is still hosted at DAASI, but we plan to migrate it in TERENA.

The REFEDS-SC recommendation is to launch it, get feedback from users and plan any future update based on that

• • SAML2/ openId Connect tool: LF followed up with Roland about running the tool in pilot. The recommendation is to ring fence 10k for this work. A more detailed work plan will be provided by the end of April.

• REFEDS website.

A revamp of the website is needed. A page has been created on the wiki to collect inputs. We'll present the requirements during the TNC meeting and plan the cramp over the summer. ACTION: Link the map to the federation info that is on the wiki (even better replae the current survey with a simplified version such a simple online yearly survey of federations).

• Coordinating LOA work.

This work item was was approved with the following changes:

1. Make it clear that the discussion will look at LoA profiles
2. Plan for a specific LoA meeting (may be a remote meeting) with those interested
3. Concerning Scott's proposed work: have a survey to understand if the incident response should be dealt as a separate item or as part of the LoA.

• SCHAC plans.

LF clarified that the first part of the work requires no funding from refeds. A proposal for REFEDS funding will me made in the fall when the first part of the work is completed. This work will cover action 1,2 and 3 and the creation on the SCHAC editorial board to work on action 5. SeeSCHAC_Plan

• Update on sponsorship.

On April 5 emails have been sent to all sponsors (and possible new sponsors). We hope to conclude this by TNC.

Action Items

• NH and LF to prepare a list of issues with current REFEDS Website.
• Link the map to the federation info that is on the wiki (even better replae the current survey with a simplified version such a simple online yearly survey of federations).
• NH-LF to organise a dedicated LoA call/meeting
