We are currently entertaining scenarios and use cases having to do with heterogeneous bootstrapping and preserving authentication context across systems. We are beginning to plan for a second RSA interop workshop that may choose from among these scenarios. See the most recent telecon notes for details.
Planned Scenarios for RSA 2009

We held a workshop focusing on policy and entitlements issues at the Burton Catalyst conference in June 2008. See the notes at Catalyst Concordia Policy Workshop 2008 for conclusions and next steps.

We demonstrated technology-provider interop of high-priority scenarios at the RSA conference in April 2008. To do this, we identified scenarios of interest (InfoCard+federation and SAML2+WS-Fed chaining) and fleshed them out. At the December workshop at IIW three scenarios were selected. See the Concordia workshop RSA 2008 notes page and subsequent telecon notes for the results of the workshop and ongoing followup work.

History: We began to prioritize scenario areas at the DIDW workshop (see DIDW Workshop 2007 Notes) – for example, identity provider discovery is an A-priority issue but single logout interop is only B-priority. Some topics will be interop-tested but other topics are suitable mostly for further deployer education/clarification because they are so broad and/or they involve business decisions that go beyond technical considerations.

We gather input from deployers on an ongoing basis, and deployers have made the following presentations in workshops to date:

concordia:AOL Identity Management Use Case (see also Catalyst Concordia Workshop June 26, 2007 Theme SummaryCatalyst_Concordia Workshop June 26, 2007 Theme Summary )

concordia:U.S. Army Policy & Entitlements Management Use Case
concordia:U.S. General Services Administration Identity Management Use Case (see also Catalyst_Concordia Workshop June 26, 2007 Theme Summary )

We are planning to produce educational writeups/white papers on areas of strong deployer interest that don't lend themselves to easy answers. The first is planned to be:

The Identity Provider Discovery Problem

There is interest in creating a second white paper on the problems of single logout, which share some philosophical similarities to the problems of IdP discovery.
In the October 7, 2008 telecon we decided to develop a Concordia Identity Reference Model.
