Fall Internet2 Member Meeting update:

AAMC has a Group Information Resources (GIR) group that working with a pilot testing of remotely hosted web courses. The University of Cincinnati has an official pilot for online/offline compliance training. The University of Texas (Health Science Center, San Antonio) is the main partner and GIR members have been asked to participate. Cincinnati has an online training site where people can login, take a training course have their compliance recorded, and reports made available. The system is being modified to accept institutional logins so that people from participating institutions will be able to take a course, print out a certificate that can be countersigned by their institution to give them credit for it. The hooks are being designed so down the road we'll be able to use the institutional login for cross-institutional verification of role and affiliation for fairly sophisticated authentication. This is a step along the way to the third scenario.
Bill will distribute documentation when it's ready in about 3 weeks. The target date is January 1, 2003 for the start of the pilot. Bill is the primary investigator and has thought about the direction the EduPerson task force has gone in shaping the project.
[AI] Bill will get contact information for GIR.
[AI] Bill will forward documentation when it's published.

It would be interesting to scan through those listed requirements to see which MACE projects might be of relevance. So in addition to the technology requirements there's also a data/admin aspect in who will put the data in, monitor and set control policies on sharing it. So this could be a way to identify items of work that need to be done for those to move forward.

While the preliminary pilot depends on people telling their home institution, honor system, that in the next phase they will begin to implement cross-institution authentication to verify their institution affiliation and access privileges. Only when they request access beyond the level they currently have will you have to go back to the home institution for information. This is deliberately towards the Shibboleth model.

Jack was involved in a discussion at the AMIA meeting about linking emergency rooms in New Mexico to watch for infectious disease outbreaks. While the effort is more CORBA based there is a need for inter-realm authentication and authorization, which may be an opportunity for Shibboleth to be involved, since there are a number of agencies and roles involved. Jack is continuing conversations.

The group needs to pool information to decide what components are the ones to follow up on. Keith will talk with Tammy to see if she is able to draft a first round document on this.
[AI] Keith will touch base with Tammy.

[AI]Steve will touch Morgan to see what the current status of conversations with AAMC are.

The third scenario still needs fleshing out. Because of DRM flavor of this scenario it would be great to get a review by Mairéad Martin if possible.

The remainder of the call was spent on scenario requirements, which will be made available when the next draft is ready. Please read through the scenarios and forward comments to the e-mail list.

The next call is November 28, 2002
