InCommon Federation Discussions About Online Student Services

[Ann West <>]

Hello!

I propose we cancel the call today and instead meet in two weeks to view the 
CommIT prototype being developed for the PESC meeting. In the interim though, 
here's a general update:

We'll be talking all CommIT all the time next week at the PESC meeting in 
Vancouver. I expect we'll get a lot of reaction, even from the limited set of 
functionality. Stay tuned.

On another front, InCommon/EDUCAUSE had a call this week with DoEd FSA (Fin 
Aid) about an InCommon interoperability pilot at the end of this year with a 
possible service pilot next year. We have two institutions willing to 
participate in this first limited pilot, but **if you are interested as well, 
let me know.**

BTW, for those of you aware of Assurance requirements, FSA will require a 
minimum of InCommon Silver Assurance (comparable to NIST level 2) for general 
access and higher for staff/Fin Aid Officer access. Stay tuned on this as 
well.

Best,
Ann
