To inform changes InCommon might make to the status quo the AAC took a
step back and decided to try to express, in simple and straightforward
language, what those who rely on federation expect of themselves and of
their federation partners.

This approach is a huge improvement over the current, rather outdated, approach of asking sites to publish a POP containing text.

However, this profile contains the word BASELINE in its title; I'm also struck that it doesn't include mention of some items that were supposed to be included in a POP statement. The obvious examples are already called out in the feedback (eg #7, 8,9).

Once this Baseline profile is promulgated, is the AAC planning to develop additional profiles layered on top of the Baseline ? Trustmarks of some sort ? Should the community push to raise the proposed Baseline at least to the level of the POP, or even to a "reasonable level for today's world" ?

Or should we wait for the follow on set of profiles ? If this is the case, has the AAC begun to think about what that set of profiles might be ?

thanks !
