Perhaps.

LIGO has resisted so far deploying an IdP/SP proxy and putting all of
its SPs behind it to continue to try and advocate for better attribute
release, both within InCommon and more generally throughout eduGAIN.

But all the other research projects I work with are deploying proxies
they operate individually as a project.

I expect LIGO will move in that direction soon also.

An InCommon proxy service for VOs would be interesting. It would need
functionality that VOs require that is not always thought about for
campus proxy solutions, but the VOs are well aware of those needs and
can articulate them.

Thanks,
