Title: Re: [InC-Student] NSC Meeting: F2f and Dial-in coordinate

Folks,  sorry for this very last minute suggestions -- been traveling, too much, then occupied with Virgina Tech related matter here.

Daniel Boehmer, President and Doug Falk, CIO of the NSC will be present.

I've shared links to several Shibboleth and In-Common Federated IdM websites:

Possible agenda

1.  Who we are -- some introduction to EDUCAUSE and InCommon and work that Bob and others have been doing on this front.

> - Cornell is advancing implementation of these new tools
> to improve intra-campus (i.e., Ithaca - NYC - Geneva, NY - Doha, Qatar
> - Washington D.C.; Rome, Italy; Paris, France; Seville, Spain, London,
> England, and several new locations in Asia - Japan, Hong Kong; South
> Asia (India) and Southeast Asia (Singapore)), and between institutions
> where we have cross-institutional research collaborations, shared
> resources, etc.  We will be approaching other vendors --
> CommonApp, Law Application Services, Medical School Application
> Services, Josten's Diploma Services, etc.

2.  What is the InCommon Federation and why is it important to the higher education community?

> - The InCommon Brochure provides a brief, succinct
> explanation, in my opinion
> - We can direct more heavily technical conversations with
> Doug; Dan is a banker but astute about importance of
> technologies

3.  Why it is important for the National Student Clearinghouse and other business entities to be part of the Federation?

> - Data security is high priority
> - Reduce complexities and time to establish individualized
> security relationships, for schools and vendors
> - Etc., etc.  the 'Drivers' from the IdM Summit might
> be shared

Anyways, just some ideas to consider.
