Fwd: Federated Authentication BOF at IETF 78

FYI.

If you're planning on attending and/or have any questions or issues  
with the proposed WG charter,  I would love to hear from you.

On a related note, Scott Cantor and Klaas Wierenga are working on SAML  
SASL mechanisms (draft-cantor-ietf-sasl-saml-ec and draft-wierenga- 
ietf-sasl-saml) addressing some similar use-case; these mechanisms are  
also likely to be the subject of discussion at IETF.
