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

Only a few comments:

Policy:

* Federation Policy refers to Technology Profiles (e.g. end of page 5), but 
no technology profiles are defined.

* Eligibility - says the criteria are “fully described” on the Main 
Federation website. But all I can find is a list of examples on 
https://www.maeen.sa/membership/ - which is not really a fully described 
criteria.


Website:

* On https://www.maeen.sa/services/identity/ you list eduGAIN - but also 
InCommon (as being similar to eduGAIN). What’s the reason for that? There are 
currently 59 other national identity federations that are members of eduGAIN, 
so really you should either list all of them, or none of them. Obviously not 
a major issue, but struck me as a bit strange.

* The link on https://www.maeen.sa/membership/ to “more information about 
membership application” doesn’t work.


Best,
Rhys.
