The Research and Education working group charter was approved by the specifications council and so the working group now exists. Congratulations! The proposers should organize an initial working group call or meeting at which chairs and possibly initial editors for documents will be selected.
This could happen in person with a call-in option during the October 22nd OpenID Workshop announced at https://openid.net/2018/09/07/registration-open-for-openid-foundation-workshop-at-vmware-on-monday-october-22-2018/ or it could be a conference call. At a minimum, hopefully a representative of the working group can be present to give an overview of the new working group. Having a session at IIW on the working group would be a great thing too. Please announce the initial working group meeting on the [email protected] list. -- Mike (writing as OpenID Foundation secretary) -----Original Message----- From: specs <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Davide Vaghetti Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 8:34 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: proposal to form an OIDF R&E WG Dear Specification Council, I'm submitting a proposal to form a Research and Education (R&E) dedicated working group in the OpenID Foundation.

# Research and Education WG Draft Charter ## 1. Working Group Name Research and Education Working Group (R&E) ## 2. Purpose The purpose of this Working Group is to develop a set of profiles for the OpenID Connect specifications to ease the adoption of OpenID Connect in the Research and Education (R&E) sector. The profiles will take into account existing practices of federated identity management in the R&E sector, current international standards to represent users that belong to R&E institutions, as well as the existing international trust fabric based on R&E identity federations. ## 3. Scope * Develop a profile for OpenID Connect with specific requirements for security, multi-lateral trust and interoperability in the R&E sector. * Develop a profile for the use of a specific set of claims and scopes related to the R&E sector. * Develop a profile for extending OpenID Connect entity's metadata to support policy frameworks used in the R&E sector. ## 4. Proposed Specifications * One or more R&E profiles for OpenID Connect. * R&E claims and scopes for OpenID Connect. * Entity metadata extension for OpenID Connect. ## 5. Anticipated audience or users The anticipated audience for the documents produced by this Working Group includes developers, deployers, federation operators, and designers of online services and network agents and devices that can act on behalf of users and organizations in the R&E sector. The group also anticipates gathering input from identity specialists from R&E organizations in order to respond to their requirements. ## 6. Language Work will be conducted in English. ## 7. Method of work E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list, regular working group conference calls, and opportunistic face-to-face meetings when a significant number of active members are co-located. ## 8. Basis for determining when the work is completed The work will be considered complete once it is apparent that maximal consensus on the drafts has been achieved, consistent with the purpose and scope of the charter, interoperability with at least two independently developed implementations of software based on the profiles has been demonstrated, and the bodies of international organizations relevant in R&E involved in the development have been given the opportunity to consistently express feedback and comments in series of iterations of the drafts (not less than three). ## Background Information ### Related work and liaison relationships #### Related work * OpenID Connect Federation specification * JWT Federations proposal [JWTfed] * REFEDS OIDCre Working Group #### Liaison relationships * OIDF Connect Working Group [OIDF-Connect] * REFEDS (the Research and Education FEDerations group) [REFEDS] * The eduGAIN Steering Group [eduGAIN] * CACTI, Community Architecture Committee for Trust and Identity of Internet2 [CACTI] * AARC - The Authentication and Authorization for Research Collaboration project [AARC] * OIDC-OAuth Deployment Working Group of Internet2 [I2OIDC] * The GEANT4 project [GEANT] ### Proposers * Davide Vaghetti <[email protected]>, GARR (Editor) * Niels van Dijk, SURFnet * Nathan Dors, University of Washington * Roland Hedberg, Independent * Maarten Kremers, SURFnet * Chris Phillips, CANARIE * Bradley Beddoes, Australian Access Federation * Mischa Sallé, NIKHEF * Nicholas Roy, InCommon * Christos Kanellopoulos, GÃANT * Wolfgang Pempe, DFN * Constantin Sclifos, RENAM * Hervé Bourgault, RENATER * John Bradley ([email protected]), Yubico * Steffen Klemer, DFN * Klaas Wierenga, GÃANT * Jule Ziegler, LRZ * Uros Stevanovic, KIT * Jens Jensen, STFC * Andreas à kre Solberg, UNINETT AS * Andrea Ceccanti, INFN * Peter Gietz, DAASI International * David Hübner, DAASI International * Elena Torroglosa, University of Murcia * Nicolas Liampotis, GRNET ### Anticipated contributions #### REFEDS OIDCre Working Group * "White Paper for implementation of mappings between SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect in Research and Education" [oidc-saml20-edu-map] ### References [OIDF-Connect] https://openid.net/wg/connect [JWTfed] https://oauth.no/jwtfederations/ [REFEDS] https://refeds.org [eduGAIN] https://edugain.org [CACTI] https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/CACTI/CACTI+-+Community+Architecture+Committee+for+Trust+and+Identity+Home [AARC] https://aarc-project.eu [I2OIDC] https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/ODWG/OIDC-OAuth+Deployment+Working+Group+Home [GEANT] https://www.geant.org/Projects/GEANT_Project_GN4 [oidc-saml20-edu-map] https://wiki.refeds.org/display/GROUPS/OpenID+Connect+SAML+mapping
