InCommon Metadata Signing Limited Over Holidays

happy holidays graphicInternet2 offices will be closed December 24, 2018 - January 2, 2019. The last day of the regular daily metadata signing is Friday, December 21, 2018. InCommon will sign metadata once during the closure, on Thursday, December 27, at approximately noon ET. Daily metadata signing will resume on January 2, 2019, at 3 pm ET.

We encourage InCommon Federation participants to refrain from making any significant changes to infrastructure (or to metadata) during this time. Given that our offices will be closed, we will have limited ability to help correct any problems. Thank you for your support of InCommon!
