Yes, you are right, it was "RoEduNetID SC" (also obscure as it seems it
was not defined). After discussions with colleagues the idea is to
simplify as much as possible and use our (AARNIEC-RoEduNet) management
staff (general manager and/or CTO) as decision factor. No committees or
such, as we are not so many people in RoEduNet, we can end having N
committees all with the same members :)

Is this a good/valid approach, with decisions made by upper staff, or we
should rethink and find another way?

Maybe we should refrain from changing often documents on the website and
wait for more reviews, because this can confuse assessment ?

BTW, is there a deadline for one application and assessment procedure ?

Best wishes,
Valeriu.
