I for one do not know which WAYF list you are talking about.

eduroam authentication does not need any WAYF service; it`s all in the  
realm suffix of the username.

If you mean the one on the CAT user download page - that is a globally  
accessible website. Entries don`t appear "in Poland" - they are either  
there or not.

If the institution has disappeared, then that is due to a conscious  
choice by the institution administrator. If he either un-checks the  
"production-ready" flag or removes essential parts of the  
configuration which are required for installer generation, then the  
profile will become invisible indeed.

Using PEAP is indeed a consideration. But your comment makes me  
curious... which other supplicants that provide TTLS support besides  
SecureW2 do you have? Can you provide examples? Because in our  
experience, TTLS supplicants are a scarce resource these days unless  
you pay significant licensing prices.

Greetings,
