**Discussion**
1. Past Meetings:
- GENI
- Mapping the Gaps
March 18-19, 2010
ISOC sponsored this meeting, looking at technical and policy issues and gaps in the IdM space. Leif attended. There was an interesting discussion about terms of use and machine-readable contracts. Information-sharing legal agreements and trust frameworks were also topics of discussion. There is not yet anything written up stemming from this meeting, but there may be in the future. There is some work being discussed on extending DKIM for apps beyond e-mail, including HTTP authentication and calendaring.
There is some work potentially brewing with the Swedish government based on YubiKey, and Leif has met with the person driving this. More to come on this as it develops.

- IETF
March 21-26, 2010, Anaheim, CA
http://www.ietf.org/meeting/upcoming.html
Leif and Scott attended. The OAuth WG meeting was somewhat contentious. Cisco's lightweight SASL proposal (based on their WebEx experience) appears to be gaining some traction, with the possibility of extending it beyond web-based apps.
There was a BoF on federation and MoonShot, led by Sam Hartman. There seems to be growing interest in going beyond OAuth in this area...

2. Relationships:
Shibboleth Consortium
This is percolating, including international participants (e.g. SWITCH and UK), and possibly relevant integrators as well. More to come on this as it develops.
3. MACE mission statement
There was discussion of the proposed mission statement floated to the list before the call. It was noted that there is a decreasing amount of difference between intra- and inter-campus perspectives...
[AI] (Ken) will revise the mission statement based upon feedback received on the call.
3. Signed e-mail
A community process for using personal certs for signed e-mail was discussed. It was observed that the user-facing UI for obtaining (provisioning) the cert, and getting it into the keystores correctly, is a particularly important issue to focus on.
4. Topic for special call on 4/12
Signed e-mail is proposed (see above), and some potential guests to talk about this topic were discussed. ISOC's perspective on IdM, and KIM are other possibilities...
