Hi Stein and Nosiku, 

Feedback from the FÉR/France 

Identity Federation Policy

• The Federation Logo is missing 

• 4.1 TypesofRegisteredSystems:IdentityProvidersandServiceProviders 

  For instance, a Higher Education Institution serving primarily as an Identity Provider might also make online information or services available to other FIDERN Members or Inter-Federations. Similarly, a Sponsored Partner that is primarily a provider of online services might also act as an Identity Provider. Members register identity management systems and/or service provider systems.

First mention of "Sponsored Partner", might be interesting to add a definition in "1.Definitions and Terminology" section.

Sponsored Partners are not supposed to act as an Identity Providers. As it's usually intended to allow commercial companies to provide resources to academic institutions.

• Appendix 1 – Governing Body Constitution

Further information about FIDERN's services may be found at http://www.fidernfed.zm.

The Website URL is incorrect. Should be : http://www.fidern.ac.zm 

• 2.4 OfficesandRecords

  Website: http://www.fidernfed.zm/
  

The Website URL is incorrect. Should be : http://www.fidern.ac.zm 

• Appendix 2 – Fees

  Current fee schedules are also available on the FIDERN website.

The FIDERN website does not contain any information related to the current fee. 

• Appendix 1 – Governing Body Constitution
  Current committees are listed on the FIDERN website

The FIDERN website does not contain any information information related to the current committees or Governance.

MRPS

• The Federation Logo is missing 

• References to the website points to http://www.fidernfed.zm, and not to http://www.fidern.ac.zm 
  
  

• 4. Metadata Format
  

  <mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="en"> http://fidernfed.zm/doc/MRPS20121110</mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy> </mdrpi:RegistrationInfo>

The RegistrationPolicy should point to the current document : http://www.fidern.ac.zm/sites/default/files/inline-files/MPRSv3.pdf 

<mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="en"> http://www.fidern.ac.zm/sites/default/files/inline-files/MPRSv3.pdf </mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy> </mdrpi:RegistrationInfo>

I hope this is helpful. 

Thanks,

Objet: [eduGAIN-discuss] Assessment of Zambia/FIDERN for eduGAIN membership

All,

I present to you the application of Zambia / FIDERN 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 via their participation in the AfricaConnect and UbunutuNet projects and communities. They are also the eduroam .zm roaming operator.

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

 * Estonia/TAAT

 * Finland/Haka

 * France / FÉR

 * Georgia/GIF

 * Germany/DFN-AA

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 FIDERN team (Stein + Nosiku) 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
