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

[Terry Smith <t.smith AT aaf.edu.au>]

 All,

Just to conclude this thread I'd like to announce that Kyrgyz Republic / KRENA Identity Federation (aka KIF) became the 70th member of eduGAIN on the 16th October.

Their metadata feed will be added to eduGAIN and you'll see them in a Discovery Service near you soon.

Thanks,

Terry.

Sorry for the delay in finding time to look at this!

Policy looks pretty good to me, no real comments…

Rhys.
