4. Review Officer Election status

Fulup confirmed elected as a Vice Chair as per vote in November

5. eGov SAML 2.0 profile v2 preparation

Colin recognized the need to start preparation. Kyle suggested at this point, focus on discussion/requirements, start drafting on February, continue to develop on March April timeframe for the next certification opportunity. Bob briefed the meeting that Fed Canada's RFP phase 1 goes into production late Spring next year Colin asked why we did not include LoA last time. Kyle said it was because the OASIS SSTC had not finished the specification and the 3 governments constituting the profile deployed it a different way. Work has gone to CD but not final at SSTC. Discussion ensued on LoA in metadata, how to deal with certificates and Bob's requirement for dual language (see later).

...

He also mentioned Multilingual requirements would be important for Canada.

6. eGov Profiles of OID and IC Project - next steps

Colin had briefly reviewed OID and IMI profiles from the ICAM website and shared his initial thoughts on the call. He liked the consistency in structure between the docs. In IMI, he felt the use of SAML 1.1 token might restrict functionality (e.g. metadata) and the use of a whitelist might not scale in an international context.

...

Colin re-iterated his call for vendors to step up to take this work forward, firstly with a gap analaysis and then with a comparison analysis of the deployments once there were published profiles of deployments outside of the US.

7. LC and BoT Updates:

Note that RFI for Trust framework from OID foundation: Due was yesterday on December 1, 2009.

Interop Review Board is still getting established but has 6 members. Colin proposed a sync up with an IRB representative before or latest on the next call. Brett suggested allowing the IRB some time to meet a couple of times and settle in. General agreement.

10. AOB

Due to the time constraints, Colin proposed to discuss agenda item 8 (RSA 2010 planning) via email.

Meeting adjourned eight minutes past the hour.
