**Discussion**
There was discussion about possible future CAMPs, including possible topics and target audiences - which may influence which other workshops it might be adjacent to. Without the now ended NSF subsidy there would need to be a registration fee high enough to fully cover costs. More to come on this as it develops.
[AI] (RL "Bob") will contact someone from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston about potentially hosting a CAMP in conjunction with an upcoming medical IT-related meeting.
* Internet2 board on InCommon Future
The board reviewed the report at their meeting in early July, and requested additional information before making a decision about whether to accept the recommendations it contained. This is being prepared and will be reviewed at their next meeting in the Fall.
MACE will be solicited for feedback on this as it proceeds.
* ACAMP followup followups: global multi-project identity umbrella, role of various orgs therein
There will be a call convened among representatives of Kuali, Jasig, Kantara, and MACE about next steps. More to come on this as it develops.
[AI] (RL "Bob") will contact a representative of Kuali Rice about coordinating a call.
* Kantara interfed, Kantara generally
There is interest in having someone from REFEDS sit on the Kantara Identity Assurance Working Group (IAWG), successor to the Liberty IAEG. Leif will be doing so.
http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/idassurance/Home
There is some discussion underway about moving the GÉANT3 JRA3 T2 Edugain metadata work into a Kantara working group, to work on technical interfederation issues.
* STORK
http://www.eid-stork.eu/
Q: What if any relationship is there between STORK and GEANT, or other EU R&E/Networking organizations?
A: None so far...
Provisioning identities across national borders is an example issue that they are placing a high priority on.
*InCommon
Trust framework provider issues have surfaced in negotiations with the federal government related to the Silver Profile, especially related to privacy policies and opt-in capabilities for attribute release at the individual user level. InCommon does not currently include this IdP requirement in the participant agreement.
