1.       Liaison Update
We are working on a liaison agreement between the Distributed Identity Foundation (DIF) and the OIDF.  DIF offered a proposed agreement, which Tom and Don are reviewing.  Nat could serve as an interim liaison officer.  Don plans to reach out to a potential liaison officer.


2.       Events
Nat is planning second SIOP workshop.  We had thought about Tuesday the 21st but are thinking of delaying it by a week due to the OAuth Security Workshop that week.

A FAPI/FDX Workshop is being planned.  FDX has already announced their adoption of OpenID Connect and are considering the adoption of FAPI and self-certification.

We have a three-hour slot for an OpenID Workshop during the OAuth Security Workshop.


3.       Certification Migration Update
Mike Jones reported on the status of the certification migration.  All but one of the existing profiles are in production in the Java suite; the one that's missing is third party-initiated login for RPs.  The certification results are now self-contained.  Roland Hedberg's service contract for maintaining the Python test suite finished at the end of June.  Members of the certification team have run tests on several implementations, some of which passed, some of which didn't.  There have been no OpenID Connect certifications using the Java code to date.

Mike Leszcz just reached out to everyone who had previously certified asking them to help us test the new test suite and reminding of them of the offer for free certifications.  Nat reported that Edmund Jay is working on testing the tests.  Mike Jones reported that Roland Hedberg plans to do so (although he's been busy making progress on OpenID Connect Federation lately).

Three of the six sets of instructions for testers for the new code are still missing.  RP testing instructions were posted by Serkan yesterday.

Mike Leszcz described how we are running out of the money budgeted for the certification migration work.  Mike Jones noted that we will not be spending more on the Python suite other than the hosting fees of about $1500/month.

Don reported that another potential budget stress is an OBIE/FAPI workshop being planned.  Although John pointed out that we can probably charge banks for participation.

Mike Jones asserted that it's not reasonable to expect for people to submit Java suite OP results without instructions on how to do so.  Don will reach out to Joseph about that tomorrow.  Worst comes to worst, Mike will take a stab at writing them with input from Edmund, and then ask the team member to correct the mistakes he made.

Mike moved: "We should all do everything in our power to get non-certification team members to run both suites ASAP, submit certification results, and provide feedback from their experiences."  The resolution passed unanimously.

Mike moved:  "We plan to turn off the Python suite once we have 5 Connect certifications or detailed sets of feedback on the tool with the new suite made by people other than those who wrote the Java code.  If this doesn't happen by the end of July, the EC will then reconvene to consider next steps."  This wording incorporated amendments suggested by Nat and John.  The resolution passed unanimously.


4.       Membership Update
One of the CMA9 banks in the process of joining the foundation.  Don is encouraging others to do so as well.


5.       Next Meeting
There will be an EC call on Thursday, July 30th at 3pm Pacific Time.
