Ann,

Do you know what kind of systems that they're talking about?  I can see the 
value for employee access, but since the student's relationship with the DOE 
continues after they separate from the university, I'm curious about the 
value that DOE gets from federated access for students.

Subject: [Assurance] Assurance Biz Case: Update on DoEd

All,

DoEd is re-architecting their identity and access systems in response to 
requests for simplifying access to their systems and leverage third-party 
credentials.

InCommon/EDUCAUSE had a call last week with DoEd FSA (Fin Aid) about 
kicking-off InCommon interoperability pilot at the end of this year with a 
possible service pilot next year.  

Initial discussions about LoA indicate that they will require Silver 
Assurance for student access and LoA 3/two-factor for staff/Fin Aid Officer 
access. 

Target rollout of production application(s) is 2013.

Best,
Ann
