== Scope ==

The work will focus on enabling GENI for federated identity,
developing options for supporting virtual organizations within the
GENI community, brokering GENI's international requirements at the
middleware layer, providing white papers on critical GENI topics in
which the Internet2 middleware community has established expertise,
requirements gathering for federated authentication/authorization and
attribute aggregation across the GENI clusters, and on working closely
with other peer proposals investigating related themes.
