Good meeting, best turnout to date… Presentations are available on the website. The interaction with OASIS was a positive aspect - they were a sponsor and participated in panels.

Movement on the RADIUS and RadSec fronts - a BoF on federated roaming was well attended. NEA seems to be nearing consensus to use SAML for the transport of NEA assertions.
Federated and large scale ESB conversations, including employing a large scale ESB to support a "global routes registry" as well as supply chain management. See Leif's blog for more info.

Mellon-funded UI project, we held a call last week to discuss potential applicability to Shibboleth and Grouper. There will be a number of follow-ups and more news as it develops.
- Croquet AuthN/Z
http://opencroquet.org/
There is some interest among the Croquet project in integrating AuthN/Z for this non-web application, and we held a call last week to explore synergies and opportunities to work together. There will be follow-ups and more news as it develops. One possibility discussed was for the app to be an InfoCard client. SAML is also a possibility, and the question of future Shibboleth support for non-web apps arose.
An InCommon-Croquet interest group has been formed, with a mailing list and wiki space under InC-Collab.
[AI] (All MACE) interested in participating contact SteveO.
- ISoc "Trust in the Internet" Initiative
Lucy Lynch will be at the I2MM, and at the MACE/Salsa dinner.
- DKIM in Higher Ed
in the context of the ISoc trust effort, DKIM is a potential area of interest early on. The adoption rate is a subject of uncertainty…
There is a new higher-ed IM administrator list, which will likely address federated IM.
