An open discussion list for topics related to the eduGAIN interfederation service.

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi,

  sorry to be so late on that.

We have a few comments.

1. The Policy document is based on the REFEDS template, which is great, but the template speaks of technical profiles that should have additional details. All other documents are SAML specific but never state that they are actually the SAML profile part, this could be amended for more clarity.

2. The technical specifications document seems to be a mixture of SAML specific requirements and details support related information. Perhaps it would be wise to include a link to the support information so thet the document will not need to be changed when you decide that supporting only Ubuntu 14.04 LTE gets out of date.

3. Nowhere in the documents we can find any requirements that service providers must publish privacy policy pointers, in fact no privacy elements seem to be mentioned anywhere.

Cheers

Tomasz

All,

I present to you the application of:
 * Mozambique/CAFMoz

who has Signed the eduGAIN Declaration, has a policy based on the federation policy template that covers all the prescribed areas, is self declaring their federation as a production service and is wanting to join the global R&E federated environment. 

Since the policy and MRPS so closely aligns with the REFEDS templates https://wiki.refeds.org/display/FBP/ I’ve decided to forgo the summary document.

You can find more detailed information about the federation under "eduGAIN Candidates” at

    https://technical.edugain.org/status.php

This application is from an organisation that is closely aligned with the GÉANT community via their participation in the AfricaConnect project and their collaboration with UbuntuNet Alliance and RNP. They are also the eduroam .mz roaming operator.

So I ask the following federations to specifically review the submission by CAFMoz:

 * Norway / FEIDE

 * Oman/KID

 * Poland / PIONIER.Id

 * Portugal / RCTSaai

 * Slovenia / ARNES-AAI

All eduGAIN members can (and should) provide feedback on this but to share the burden of review around, these five (5) federations have a specific responsibility. 

If you have any questions please contact the CAFMoz team (Lourino + Lino) that are subscribed to this mailing list as well as CC’d to this message.

Formal components of the membership process will be via the eduGAIN Steering Group mailing list.
