6) Presentation: White Paper - The Govt community cloud and how thye relate to KI frameworks (based on Fed Canada's roadmap)

http://cloudbestpractices.net/2011/08/31/new-white-paper-government-community-cloud/

Neil presented the work, its background and context, his proposals of how the work relates to KI, and his proposal for new cloud-related WG in Kantara. Due to low attendance on this call it was suggested that the presentation be re-run.    

7) Work Item 1: Update on Conformance test plan planning options (IRB)

JB advised that the IRB is still looking to confirm the SAML Test event for early 2012.  There are several actions that Kantara eGov should undertake with significant urgency, and that he had heard of further adoption of the profile in the RE sector, out of Europe..

• Undertake a 'gap analysis' between the existing eGov 2.0 profile Requirements/features and any new emerging urgent requirements (Attribute Release wasa mentioned as an example)
• Undertake a 'gap analysis' between the existing eGov 2.0 profile Requirements/features and its applicable existing Conformance Test Plan
• Draft/develop additional tests for the Test Plan to fill gaps

...

Motion to action the Budget Request was Moved by JB, Seconded by Rainer Hoerbe, carried unanimously.

Action 2011-09-12-01: Colin to draft the budget request, circulate to WG for comment and acceptance, and submit to the LC 

The remaining actions under this work item to be initiated via the WG email list.

...

8) Work Item 2: SLO (including Global Idle Timeout) use case/requirements for input into eGov Deployment model and cookbook (Fulup will update following his vacation)

Rainer and Keith are taking the lead. Keith had restrcited circ'd UbiSecure's approach to SSO timeout. Rainer had posted a white paper on idle timeout, and added that a vendor had indicated a desire to do a  reference implementation. There is no intention to change the SAML 2.0 Core spec, rather to provide best practice guidance on alternative approaches. 

Actions: 2011-09-12-02: Keith to extend Ubisecure paper to JB to inform OpenIDConnect development, Keith & Rainer to prepare a paper for the OASIS SSTC, and continue discussions with Andreas Solberg?? and Roland Maurer?? re this (Rainer and Keith: please confirm these are the names, and clarify this point..thanks..)

10) STORK SAML 2.0 comparison to eGov 2.0 Profile of SAML (and CA IAS SAML, DK SAML, FI SAML, ICAM SAML, NZ SAMS?)..any input Kantara eGov?  

Extensive discussion on this topic revealed that STORK SAML is at best loosely based on the SAML 2.0 spec set with all accompanying interop challenges that implies.  5 STORK pilots are known to be in play, (e.g. Swedish change of address with Tunnistus.fi????). KALMAR union countries more aware of STORK  from an academic standpoint rather than Higher Ed at large.
