Subject: Re: [eduGAIN-discuss] Assessment of Nigeria / eduID.ng

Dear Owen and Ahmed,

Documents are well organized based on templates. Please find my comments
below.

1. It seems that eduId.ng's federation metadata does not comply with its
MRPS.
Please check: https://technical.edugain.org/validator2?fed_id=EDUID-NG

2. I wonder if the content related to the subscription fee should be in the
application form:  the website or policy documents might include the
information regarding the subscription fee.

3. No privacy policy statement is found on the website: Some eduGAIN
members may require the policy to inter-federate.

4. The policy document (p.5) stated: "must follow the practice presented in
the Data Protection Profile."
However, I could hardly find the Data Protection Profiles.

5. In the MRPS document (p.5): recommend changing the Metadata format in
the box (e.g., registrationAuthority="http://eduid.ng";).

6. In the policy document (p.6), membership eligibility is a little bit
ambiguous to me.
   - required to define the Nigerian research and education community and
the affiliate member: as the definition in p.3, Federation Members could
consist of Home Organizations, Service Providers, and/or an Attribute
Authority only.
   - The eligibility section in p.6 should be refined more:
     * the base eligibility criteria make no sense if there is no
difference between the affiliate members and Home Organizations.
     * It looks like somewhere in the policy document, you need to state
how to approve the affiliate members.
     * The section would become more apparent if it states the eligibility
criteria for Home Orgs., Service Providers, and Exceptional Cases,
respectively.

Best Wishes,
Jinyong JO
