Just for clarity, the template is just a template - it sets out the
scope of content that should be in such a statement but does not
require federations to meet any given approaches. It is "you must
document this" not "it must be done this way". The statement
should definitely cover the fact that these areas should be
documented though and definitely agree that all of the recent
discussions around interfederation point to the need for federations
to more fully document their practices. If we want to require federations to do more things - i.e. add "MUSTS" - within the eduGAIN framework then it would require an update to the policy. I think this aligns with discussion at the last eduGAIN SG around what behaviours a federation is being assessed on when they apply for membership. Is it just what is strictly in the policy, or are there behaviours we expect that aren't yet documented anywhere?

It sounds like there may need to be some "MUSTS" as part of a revised MDRPS template that include things like (these are just my thoughts/guesses): > > 1) Organizational validation practices for RA activities such as onboarding new members of each federation > 2) Possibly performing domain validation activities on domains in scopes, entityIDs and endpoints in metadata > > Is that true? It seems that some prospective members of eduGAIN may need to more fully document their practices around these activities to prevent things like duplicate scopes or invalid scope assertion, for example. > > Thanks, > > Nick > > > > > On 10/20/15, 2:15 AM, "Ioannis Kakavas" <ikakavas AT noc.grnet.gr> wrote: > Hello all,>> -- Nicole Harris PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OFFICER GÉANT - Amsterdam Office M: +31 (0) 646105395 Skype: harrisnv Networks • Services • People Learn more at www.geant.org |
