*InCommon Charts Future*

   The InCommon federation <ttp://www.incommonfederation.org/%22> is
   becoming an integral part of the cyberinfrastructure of the research
   and education community. Because of rapid growth and increased
   adoption by key partners, InCommon is at a pivotal point in its
   development, and the community continues to lead its formation and
   strategy.

   An InCommon Future group has been chartered by the InCommon Steering
   Committee and Internet2's Applications, Middleware, and Security as
   well as Research Advisory Councils to look at a wide range of issues
   related to the future of InCommon. The Future group's charge is to
   develop a three-year plan that recommends InCommon's scope and
   activities: who InCommon serves, with what set of services, and how
   it will implement this next phase, including a governance and
   financial model. Additional details are available online
