Hi Glenn,
you seem to assume that none of you IdPs will ever want to be listed in the UK WAIF. What if they want to use an SP that does point to this WAIF and that SP would actually work for them? I really think that if we now start bilateral agreements on who exports what, then we may just as well shut eduGAIN down.

So please take away italian entities from the ukfederation metadata.
We can do that if you request it, but it would mean that no UKf entities AT
ALL, whether opted in to eduGAIN or not, will see imported entities from your
federation. That doesn't sound to me like the best solution.
Could you remove the Irish institutions from the UKf wayf but leave them in
your metadata? I know there’ll still be problems with SP’s who operate their
own DS, but the UKf must account for half of all discoveries?

I don’t mind reaching out UKf SP’s to remove Irish institutions from their
DS’s, I’ll also have to reach out to SP’s who operate in eduGAIN that are
listing Irish institutions under the UK federation like the Terena SP.
