=== Identity and Attributes in GENI ===

==== Session leader ====
  Tom Mitchell, BBN

==== Time ====
  Tues 	1:00 - 2:30 pm 

==== Description ====

  This meeting will seek agreement on an approach to identity and
  attributes in GENI.

  GENI requires a way of positively identifying experimenters and
  granting them access to tools and resources. Current control
  frameworks either maintain their own database of users or explicitly
  outsource this task to an identity provider. In addition to
  identifying experimenters, GENI needs information about attributes
  like institutional affiliation, project role, etc.

  The goal of this session is to discuss proposals and reach community
  consensus on a way forward for identity management and attributes in
  GENI.
