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

Regarding P5, we have not yet written any profile documents yet and will be written as soon as we see the need of. Is the absence of such documents a show-stopper to become members in eduGAIN? 

Regarding P6. Yes eligibility is the same as that of the NREN, It should be noted that the AUP allows membership of commercial service providers, provided specific criteria are met (article 3)

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.
