Item 05 meeting notes "credential governance"

• add governance structures for attribute specifications
• community standards, baseline expectations
• metadata distribution

What will potentially change with respect to our current way of delivering value in general?

And what will change with a particular view to our ecosystem? Include a critical review of our existing ecosystem services and the nature of potential impact on them.

• focus more on processes than servers
• where do universities play their important roles? We probably are multi-governance already (show example of Switch: https://confluence.switch.ch/display/EDUID/04+Use+Cases)
• effects of having to work together with other sectors?

Describe use cases in our ecosystem that could potentially benefit from an emerging DI ecosystem

Describe assumptions / requirements towards other players / outcomes etc. to make it deliver value to our ecosystem

Describe actions we need to fulfil as a community (ecosystem) to get such value delivered to our ecosystem

Might this make it easier for NRENs to participate in the ecosystem with less effort?

• might cross-sectorial use cases add value?
• how about our long-standing experience in trust and identity?

Describe potential situations or actions of other important stakeholders leading to a failure to deliver value to our ecosystem

This could be linked to external developments but also to our inability to fulfil above actions or to get consensus in our own ecosystem

• how about other governance models being forced upon us?
• intermediaries trying to keep their influence
• overcoming national borders might impose barriers
• failing to communicate the new "VC world" to end users and those engaged in the process
• if usability is missing, the trust governance cannot be communicated appropriately

Describe (crowdsourced within our group) prior or ongoing activities in our ecosystem relevant to the topic at hand by NRENs and GÉANT

• VC4EU (EU Large Scale Project)
• EBSI Wave 3
• VC-EDU (lead by MIT, global scope)
• IDunion (DE)
• DIDAS (CH)
• ...

Recommendations towards NRENs (and their community), GÉANT and "the research community"
