InCommon Charts Future

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. An InCommon Future group has been 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. Additional details are available online.
