I thought that some of you from the security community would be interested in this discussion scheduled for later today. Note that you can participate remotely if you are not in attendance at the Internet2 member meeting. -Rodney InCommon Future Group & InCommon Forum The first public discussion of a report from the InCommon Future group will take place at the Spring Member Meeting during the InCommon Forum, Monday, 27 April, 5:00-6:30 p.m. in Salon A. Jack Suess (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) and Kevin Morooney (Penn State University), co-chairs of InCommon Future, will present a draft report and seek feedback and comments. The session will also be screencast for remote participants (login as a Guest at https://admin.acrobat.com/_a823099699/incforum/) The InCommon federation is becoming an integral part of the cyberinfrastructure of the research and education community. Because of rapid growth and increased adoption by key partners, InCommon is at a pivotal point in its development, and the community continues to lead its formation and strategy. The InCommon Future group was chartered by the InCommon Steering Committee and the Internet2 Advisory Councils, AMSAC and RAC, to look at a wide range of issues related to the future of InCommon. The Future group's charge is to develop a three-year plan that recommends InCommon's scope and activities: who InCommon serves, with what set of services, and how it will implement this next phase, including a governance and financial model. Community feedback from InCommon Participants and Internet2 Members is critical. After community input, both at the Member Meeting and via the wiki, a revised draft will be forwarded to the two Internet2 advisory councils (AMSAC and RAC) and the InCommon Steering Committee. The goal is to produce a set of recommendations by 15 June, which can be endorsed by the InCommon Steering Committee, AMSAC, and RAC, and submitted jointly by these groups to the Internet2 board on 23 June for discussion at the Board's 7 July meeting.
