Agenda

- vendor questionnaire and responses

- inviting select vendors to phone calls.
 I haven't invited anyone yet, but would like to discuss what we would
hope to accomplish in these phone calls.  Here are some of my thoughts
I just jotted down on this (based some on previous calls), and hopefully
we can discuss more in the phone call today:

 -- In their (vendor) opinion,
why has there been a slow uptake with InCommon?
 -- Find out what role if any they
think our group or InCommon should play?
 -- Find out if there is any need
for standardization across federation members' identity providers that
would simplify the process for vendors' configurations
 -- As identity provider institutions,
we would see some real benefit in vendors implementing WAYFless URLs and
direct linking to resources.  Any ideas on how we should go about
making this recommended practice among other vendors
 -- Anything we are missing, especially
as they may have learned dealing with other federations?
