REFEDS Survey
Meetings -
Meeting at I2 will be very focused on 3-4 topics (one of which hopefully an SPs panel)
No EWTI event - suggestion is to align it with the AARC meeting
WGs - Heather helping on some WGs too.
Sirtfi - running very well, Implementation on sirtfi on the table now
Assurance - new WG created after TNC.
FOG - keeps running well
OIDC - not enough work for the WG to keep going - so maybe this should not continue in 2017
IdP of last resort - working fine
ORCID - a lot of discussion happening, but no concrete outputs from this WG.
Promotion and communication
IAMonline EU - Joint effort REFEDS, AARC, GN4 to organise something similar to the US.
Libraries work - Word done in AARC, not a lot of results. Not a lot for REFEDS to do in this space. Miro noted that the support for persistent IDs and ORCID is something revelant for federations to look at.
Cloud
Evenagelic SPs- Take the static discovery guide, refresh that and make a website where you can login in.
DNS scope verification - Not a lot of enthusiasm to move this forward.
Services
MET
REEP
FedLab - A bit of a situation with this contract. Roland pulled out, so Rainer is alone now. There has been a huge delay in delivering, the founding was coming from the different sources. Main problem is about changing the directions. The work was meant to deliver a pilot with the related documentation, but at the moment nothing has been provided. ACTION - take a step back document what is needed, and see where the deplooyment should take place. NH to report back on the conversation with Rainer.
Standard and specs
Entity categories - last call was very positive, there consensus on the next changes.
