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

[Brook Schofield <brook.schofield AT geant.org>]

All,

I present to you the application of Oman / OMREN Fed who has Signed the eduGAIN Declaration, has a policy based on the policy template, is self declaring their federation as a production service and is wanting to join the global R&E federated environment.

You can find more detailed information about the federation under "eduGAIN Candidates” at
    https://technical.edugain.org/status.php
which contains links to their policy and MRPS.

This application is from an organisation that is closely aligned with the GÉANT community, is a subscriber to the Trusted Certificate Service and affiliated with The Research Council of Oman (TRC) with slightly different goals from the existing Omani federation (Oman KID). OMREN is developing a range of services to support federated access and participation in eduGAIN is an important step for them on this path.

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

 * Croatia/AAIEduHr

 * Cyprus/CIF

 * Czech Republic/eduID.cz

 * Denmark/WAYF

 * Ecuador/ColFIRE

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 OMREN Fed team (Musallam and Warda) 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.

Thanks,

Brook Schofield
