In attendance:
Apologies:
1. Open Actions
SCM20150219-07: NH to push the MRPS back out to the REFEDS list with the summary responses so far and point out that we need more. NH to also push to edugain list.
Update: main issue lack of responce.
Superseded by events, it's now moved into eduGAIN and GN4.
The eduGAIN SC will be engaged. Edugain recommends each federations to have an MRPS but doesn't say what.
SCM20150219-11: NH and KJK to work on reviving the MARI conversation.
Update: Action came out last year. WG was created but no action at all. There are relevant topics that are being discussed at the moment, due to the increased usage of eduGAIN. Still interop issues among between SAML1 and SAML2 attributes released.
Decision on what to do with this: two options (i) put more energy to revitalise this group or (ii) push it back to eduGAIN.
Tom noted there is a WG federation interoperability WG under I2. The driving energy has to come from the federations that see this as a problem.
ACTION: move it to the refeds meeting for I2 and Vienna if needed.
ACTION: add a reference on mari page that the group is hold.
REF-1 SURVEY - All results are up online.
REF-2 - 2 entity categories are done. NH doing work with Mikael Linden on CoCo.
More difficult is the Academia Entity Category. Nicole has tried to summarise the use-cases (InAcademia, CLARIN and Elixir) on the wiki. We have a possible category and we could push out a consultation.
Q: Should we go ahead and push it?
Tom: Looking at a pilot wihin InCommon K-12 which would bring many more entities to eduGAIN. How would Academia work in this case for the IdPs? Pushing out the discussion may be a good thing
ACTION: Agreed to push it out to formal consulation
REF-3: Work ongoing on VO and groups
REF-4: Services
Met is now using the pyff framework (used by Leif). A call for new features request will go out soon. Also looking at the big picture on more general monitoring tools.
PEER/REEP - Developemt progressing well. At some point we need to look at the business model as to whether to push this a service. Some ideas are to use PEER/REEP to help connect metadata directly to eduGAIN.
ACTION: LF to use AARC gather experience from international SPs when joining a federation.
FedLab - A new proposal to request addtional funding from GN4, V foundation and some budget from REFEDS.
