Mark,

Yes indeed there will be an archive. We hope that it can be used as
reference material for those who like aural learning. ;)

Best,
Ann

> Dear InCommon Community,
>
> The InCommon Assurance Program will open for business on Wednesday,
> February 29, 2012 with a webinar describing the criteria and process
> for certification. The webinar will take place at 2 pm (ET);
> connection information is included at the end of this announcement.
>
> The assurance program certifies campuses, not-for-profit research
> organizations and sponsored partners that meet the identity and
> credential management requirements for specific profiles or
> practices. Central to the certification process is the Assurance
> Advisory Committee, comprised of community members that will make
> certification recommendations to the InCommon Steering Committee.
>
> InCommon has two published sets of practices, Bronze and Silver,
> which align with the US government’s NIST levels 1 and 2,
> respectively. Bronze has a security level that slightly exceeds the
> confidence associated with a common Internet identity. Silver has a
> security level appropriate for financial transactions.
>
> More than 15 campuses intend apply for Silver certification in 2012,
> anticipating the use of applications from the National Institutes of
> Health, the National Student Clearinghouse, and other service
> providers. Several community-developed resources have been
> contributed to the Assurance wiki, most notably a cookbook for using
> Microsoft’s Active Directory to comply with the Silver Profile as
> well as Multi-factor Authentication Guidance for Silver, both
> developed by the CIC InCommon Silver working group.
>
> The February 29 webinar will introduce the assurance program, outline
> certification requirements, and review the certification process.
