Ken is working on slides for AMSAC about the various I2MI working groups, as a follow-on to the presentations they heard at the I2MM.
The Research Advisory Council (RAC) is also interested in I2MI activities, since to some extent they fall under their CI umbrella as well...

There was a BoF to discuss Kuali Rice and integration with I2MI. There was also a Kuali Rice session.
There was a great deal of focus on, and interest in, InCommon at the meeting. The InCommon future planning activity was of major interest, not surprisingly...

Bob attended. There was a good discussion with the CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) project, a pan-euro project supporting linguistic activities - somewhat akin to the Bamboo project in the US. They are interested in federated access to resources for researchers.

Federated access to the REFEDS wiki was also a topic of discussion. Eduroam continues to move forward, and was also a hot topic of discussion. Canada is making significant progress, the US less so. The Canadians are willing to help US institutions wishing to move ahead,

Final programs are complete. "Building blocks of access management" will be the topic for CAMP, including entry level and pragmatic guidance, case studies, requirements, patterns for analysis, and implementation considerations.
Advanced CAMP will follow, and "identity summit" (e.g. the integration of identity models between social networking sites and the campus) will be the topic. Working with the open source community is emerging as a sub-theme. The program committee is under way, and Kuali (Rice/KIM) and JA-SIG are represented. ISOC will be sponsoring the reception.

- GSA Attribute workshop
September 28-29, 2009, Washington DC
**Discussion**
- US Government
The Obama administration is interested in OpenID for externalization and personalization of some of their websites. This would apparently use an opaque identifier to recognize returning users, and no personal information. GSA is involved and tracking this as it moves forward. Details forthcoming as available.
The GSA trust framework adoption process is also being developed, which would provide the framework to accept federations including InCommon.
- Next steps for COmanage
A number of other communities and organizations are interested in getting involved, including potentially funding new development activities. The 3 paths forward that are being explored are the framework/paradigm, VM appliance, and hosted service.
- Coordination on Microsoft Geneva (ADFS++) testing
Beta 2 is coming soon, and interop testing SAML will be important. REFEDS may end up being the venue for this coordination...
- Mozilla and signon
This will hopefully be discussed at the upcoming IIW meeting.
