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

My comments are limited to ones already expressed here by others. I don’t see any show-stoppers. My apologies for my late response, I was out of the office for several weeks.

Best Regards,

As the first formal act as eduGAIN Chair, I present to you the application of:

• Malta/RiċerkaNET Identity Federation

who has Signed the eduGAIN Declaration, has a policy based on the federation 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, historically called the University of Malta but since 2008 the NREN has been called RiċerkaNET. They are also the eduroam.mt roaming operator.

So I ask the following federations to specifically review the submission by Malta/RiċerkaNET Identity Federation:

•  Switzerland / SWITCHaai
•  Turkey / YETKİM
•  Uganda / RIF
•  Ukraine / PEANO
•  United States / InCommon

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 RiċerkaNET team (Daniel + Dave) 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,
Terry
