1) APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF 2005/10/06 MEETING
Mr. Aizenman moved and Mr. Sakimura seconded approval of the minutes of the 2005/10/06 board meeting.
The motion passed unanimously.
2) CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF FACE-TO-FACE MEETING TIMES
Per the last meeting, the board discussed a face-to-face meeting time given Mr. Sakimura's trip to the U.S. and Costa Rica. He will be attending Digital ID World on November 10 & 11, then spend the first half of the week of the 14th in San Fransisco, then go to the Virtual Personality Symposium (VPS) in Costa Rica.
The board members discussed the dates of the VPS meeting. The tentative decision was to meet in Costa Rica on Wednesday, November 16, immediately before the VPS. All board members will try to confirm that date and send email to the rest of the board members by COB on Monday, the 16th.
3) LIGHTWEIGHT AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL REQUIREMENT
Recently it has become clear that ISSO (I-Name Single Sign-On) would experience significantly better adoption if it supported an open source lightweight authentication protocol in addition to SAML. Movement towards consolidation of four lightweight authentication protocols (LID, OpenID, Passel, and 2idi) has already begun, and may gain momentum going into the Internet Identity Workshop begin held in Berkeley week after next.
The trustees acknowledged that they are very well disposed to supporting this development and intend to draft a specific resolution to this effect. Mr. Washburn was in favor of taking an "unequivocal stance" and Mr. Davis wanted to make it clear that this was a path towards broad adoption.
The board agreed to draft a motion via a wiki page and email dialog.
* Mr. Reed will create this first draft wiki page and send email to further discussion.
4) CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF XDI.ORG GRS DATA COLLECTION POLICY ISSUES
There was not sufficient time to continue the discussion of the issues brought up last week. However two action items were assigned:
* Mr. Reed will send email to Mr. Blackmer, Brian Lewis (Cordance counsel), and Jeff Neuman (NeuStar counsel) for them to discuss the GSS policy on data collection.
* Mr. Reed will compile a list of all other GSS policy issues or revisions that have come up during the implementation period and share this with Mr. Blackmer and the trustees.
5) ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned by consensus at 8:30PM.
