http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/eGov/eGov+Meeting+Notes+-+2011-07-11

Minutes were approved by John Bradley and seconded by Rainer Hoerbe.

4) Work Item 1: Update regarding Conformance test plan planning options (IRB..JB?)

SAML 2.0 full matrix test event on schedule for approx Jan 2011 and will include eGov Profile v2. eGov WG is urged to review Profile, noting that not all features currenty have test harnesses, but it may be possible to clarify any existing requirements e.g the treatment of attributes. Mention made of disappointment that major vendors have not sought to attest implementations of the more recent SAML specs from the OASIS SSTC, despite their creation to fulfil known customer needs. IRB still in discussions with Geant's FedLab regarding 'in-queue' (static) test environment being supported by Kantara. No update on Fraunhofer alternative.

ACTION 2011-08-08-01 CW to send a link to eGov profile for further comment. (Deadline for comment Fri 30th Sept for confirmation and vote on October 3rd call).

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

6)Work Item 3: Discussion: Attributes DG Charter and eGov's email thread collecting requirements (Sal + all)

DG Charter focuses on collecting requirements and considering the most appropriate community for further development, in an effort to avoid duplication.  Metadata schema was given as an example of the fine line needing to be drawn.  While there are multiple instances of these, it may end up being more unhelpful and duplicative, to try to draw them together to create one common one, than to leave as is and just provide clarifying guidance on use. 

7) Work Item 4: The Open Source Support Initiative WG. Any update?

No update known.

8) LC and BoT updates (Incl. Assurance Review Board, Interop Review Board, IOP WG) (CW/JB)

UAM WG has a requirement for temporary URI's for its work.  Given that KI is not an SDO, care needs to be taken in managing this. A policy is being draffted and will be available for comment soon.

9) Liaisons: OASIS eGov Member Section, KI's ISO and ITU-T's Liaisons

The newly formed OASIS Trust Elevation Technical Committee was mentioned as possible interest for some.  It proposes amongst others, an approach for 'step up' assurance, from say an LoA 1 to LoA2, by the adding of some dynamic asserted attribute/s.  Full Charter:  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/201107/msg00000.html
 
“The Trust Elevation Technical Committee will identify methods being used currently to authenticate electronic identities by online relying parties and service providers, and similar methods in development or identified in theoretical models.  By comparison and factoring of those methods, the TC will propose and describe a set of standardized protocols that service providers may use to elevate the trust in an electronic identity credential presented to them for authentication, at generally-recognized levels of assurance, representing increasing degrees of authentication certainty.”

10) Events: KI F2F Redwood City Oct 20-21: expected attendees: CW, RH, JB (part). CS and LL are possibles.  Kantara Summit at SCA Conference, Nov. 1, 2011 in Washington D.C. (Sal speaking on eGov's behalf - LaChelle is also going),

11) AOB: Recent threads etc
