Assurance

[Brett Bieber <>]

InCommon’s Assurance Advisory Committee (AAC) is changing to the Community Trust and Assurance Board (CTAB). The reformed group will have an expanded focus and change the AAC into a board that is representative of the InCommon community in support of our Baseline Expectations. The expanded duties will include shepherding the community consensus, guiding InCommon’s Trust Programs, and leading dispute resolution when concerns about participants arise. Members will have a substantial and lasting impact on how InCommon enables the academic mission.

The Community Trust and Assurance Board needs members representing all of InCommon, including:

1. Universities and Colleges, both large and small

2. Research and scholarly communities

3. Commercial service providers, both large and small

4. IT and IT Security strategic leadership

5. IAM and Information Security operations

6. International perspective

7. Internal Audit

8. InCommon Staff

If you’d like to know more and have input into the reformed CTAB, please contact any of the existing AAC members listed at https://www.incommon.org/about.html.

The committee meets, virtually, every two weeks and has one or two face-to-face meetings per year, with terms lasting for three years. We welcome personal nominations, volunteers, and recommendations for the positions on the board. Please reach out to express interest or with any questions to Brett Bieber, InCommon Assurance Advisory Committee Chair, .

Nominations will be accepted through Friday, December 22, 2017.

Also, please join us for a webinar on Wednesday, December 6 at noon ET to learn about the  proposed new charter for the Community Trust and Assurance Board (CTAB) and hear about opportunities for new members to begin in 2018.

Thanks,

Brett Bieber, University of Nebraska and Chair of the InCommon Assurance Advisory Committee (AAC)
