Dear Peter S.,

Thank you for finding and contacting us! First of all, we're happy to welcome you!

We just started as a workgroup. Maybe better: We are starting. Thanks to everyone who shares our efforts, you've found us...

This initiative must come from libraries, because of their shared concerns and aims to preserve privacy, even on a broader plane then just federated SSO. It's about the core ethics of protecting academic freedom by safeguarding privacy.

Of course there editorial issues, we're more looking at the technical part and possibilities right now. If you have suggestions, please let it know. It's a document with public link and comment permissions.

So, welcome;)

Jos

    Dear all,
    
    I've recently subscribed to this list due to Raoul dropped its short
    name (FIM4L) on another mailing list and from then finding a czech
    language presentations on the Internet with contained links to this
    mailing list.
    
    The "charter" document referenced by Jiří yesterday answers a few of
    my questions with regard to the background (and possibly funding) of
    this effort but raises others (E.g. Why is this not a REFEDS Working
    Group? How come the identity federation community at large has never
    heard of this and has not been given a chance to provide input but
    eduGAIN, GEANT and REFEDS are already listed as "parties involved in
    this effort"? etc.)
    
    Both the charter and especially the "FIM4L guidelines and
    recommendations" documents referenced in the mail yesterday are
    fraught with issues, IMHO, both substantial and structural/editorial.
    
    So how do you want to handle this? Should I wait like everyone else
    who hasn't been invited into this effort until you consider those
    documents ready for wider publication? Or do you want to gather more
    input now -- but then why limit that additional input to myself only
    because I've managed to even find this list and not the wider
    community?
    
    Best regards,
    -peter
