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

[Rhys Smith <Rhys.Smith AT jisc.ac.uk>]

Only a few bits of feedback from me:

Federation policy:

* P5 - various references to technology profiles, e.g. “temporarily suspend 
individual technology profiles” - these profiles aren’t mentioned or detailed 
anywhere.

* P6 - eligibility is the same as for the NREN? So you’re not going to allow 
e.g. commercial service providers on your federation? (Entirely your choice, 
of course, just checking whether you really mean that…)


Website is a bit… bare at the moment :-). Assume that’ll come along later…


Best,
Rhys.
