Meeting Notes - 2009-03-05 Conference Call

Participants

Creating an ITLC Group in UCLA Spaces

• Everyone agreed this is a good thing to do.  All campus representatives should send their CIO's ePPNs to Kathy Beyer, as described in David Walker's mail of 3/3/2009.

The 2009 Work Plan

• There was a lot of discussion of this topic.  The draft UCTrust Work Group Work Plan - 2009page has been updated to reflect the results.  Everyone is asked to review the draft and make comments via electronic mail.
• The UC Grid and Kuali KIM integration items raised a more general issue:  To what degree should the UCTrust Work Group initiate discussions with such groups to ensure alignment with UCTrust?  The trick is to encourage the use of UCTrust without taking on a leadership role for those other projects.  We will probably use multiple approaches to accomplish this, including leveraging the ITAG's imminent standards process, direct interaction among members of the UCTrust Work Group and those other projects, and asking the ITLC for help.

Audit Requirements for UCTrust Basic and InCommon Silver

• Within the coming months, InCommon will have a process for certifying to their Silver level of assurance, which is very close to UCTrust's Basic level of assurance.  The main difference between the two is that InCommon Silver requires an audit to become certified (and every two years thereafter), whereas UCTrust Basic requires an audit every two years, but only after the first two years.
• Some campuses have passed or are nearing their two-year mark for UCTrust Basic.
• David Walker will send a note to the ITLC, as UCTrust governing board, asking for a temporary relaxation of UCTrust's audit requirement so that the audits can be shared both for UCTrust Basic and InCommon Silver certification.

Next Meeting

• Our next face-to-face meeting will be in April at UCSF.  Everyone who is interested in attending should respond to Nina Petsko's electronic mail of 3/3/2009 by using the Doodle link provided in the message.  We will determine the agenda via electronic mail and the wiki.
