Hi
I’m not able to attend the meeting next week o I will express my thoughts here.
eduGAIN can never be only research if we don’t have another interfederation for students and one for educational support staff and so on.
With that said I understand the problem and we to address some way or another and as Leif says we need to slice the elephant. IdP entity categories is a good way to categorize what type of users that IdP has but we may also need a different slicing with marking of individual users.

Hi Josh
I don't think anyone said these issues weren't important, just that they weren't solvable through the route being used. I think it is fair to be able to express disagreement on a mailing list, isn't that what they exist for?
What I'm hearing here is a proposal for a refeds entity category supported by further work on scopes within eduperson, possibly SCHAC, but some concern that still might not meet the use case.
I'd then also suggest that we work with CLARIN via the enabling users folk and see if we can tease out the exact customer definition further. I know Lukas is already talking to Dieter, perhaps a VC with Jozef as well? This was bring the two ends together.
I think that's a pretty positive outcome of a community debate, is it not?
It is however debatable if edugain exists primarily to serve research communities and not say student or general academic services, as the later would currently seem to characterize the services available. That's an interesting debate for the edugain TSG as it might mean making decisions that makes edugain unusable for the student / publisher community.
Cheers
Nicole
