US Federations Discussion

["Laskaris, George" <>]

Thinking about building an identity trust federation, but don't know who 
should be involved or how to start? Looking for a good case study to learn 
more about and use as a starting point? 

If your answer is yes, learn more about the upcoming US Trust Federations 
meeting on June 23 in Raleigh North Carolina 
(https://spaces.internet2.edu/x/czc). The agenda features a case study of NC 
Trust, the state-wide identity trust federation in North Carolina that 
includes higher education, education service providers, state Department of 
Public Instruction, and MCNC, the regional network provider for NC education. 
The North Carolina case study will be followed by a panel discussion on 
lessons learned from other state and collaborative federations already in 
process. 

Want even more detail about operating within a federation? Consider coming to 
the CAMP: Exploring and Supporting Federated Access held prior to the US Feds 
Meeting on June 21-23. Additionally, the Advance CAMP: The Second Identity 
Services Summit held June 23-25 will offer open source developers a chance to 
work on aligning approaches to managing identity to reduce coding burden and 
campus implementation complexity. Both meetings will be held in the same 
hotel as the US Trust Federations Meeting. Information for CAMP and Advance 
CAMP is available at www.incommon.org/camp
