**Discussion**

- Misc

- Bob will be attending a NSTIC meeting in DC later this week. Agenda is TBD.

- Given the unconference nature of ACAMP this year, there was no real theme per se. Consensus among the attendees was that it was positive, and they were interested in doing it again.

- Steven had an AI to document attribute aggregation patterns. Other AIs: - documenting campus requirements and activities around the Sun IdM suite issues

- TEP (Tools and Effective Practices) wiki space as home for policy and governance discussions

- ECP work - Roland and ScottK will work on PythonECP, and share work on Shib wiki and dev mailing list on implementations. Encouraging broader adoption, to enable interoperable clients, is a goal. Arnie Miles will carry this forward in the HPC arena.

Consent and ECP is an area of growing interest.

- InCommon Silver - facilitate discovery of Silver work and sharing community work (facilitate outreach on community outreach and outcomes).
