Scott gave a brief report from the Liberty Alliance Technology Expert Group meeting. The release of Identity Web Services Framework 2.0 is now scheduled for May.

The group agreed to change the topic for the June Advanced CAMP from interfederation to workflow. The program committee is still looking for new members; contact Bob if you are interested.

Bob noted that InfoCard has been getting a lot of attention in the trade press. He also called the group's attention to the Higgins open-source identity management project; see http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/.
