Membership Updates and Joining

At the moment there are 4 candidates. Over the summer the Secretariat worked with the RedCLARA federation FIEL on their policies and documents. They are currently processing the feedback received. RedCLARA is helping to set up and support several federations in the region. The FIEL federation will act as a federation for territiories without an NREN.
Also Nigeria / eduID.ng, Thailand /ThaiREN IF and Costa Rica / RedConare applied for candidacy.

Argentina / MATE is still suspended.
Mozambique / CAFmoz has been working with Terry on fixing the problems.

Team Updates

Operation team:
The main switch of the network caused a 90 minutes outage at PSNC. It is not supposed to be a SPOF, though it failed anyway. PSNC is designing a replication process for MDS. The Operations team will inform the SG on how to implement a distributed service for MDS.
Also the OT has been experimenting with the HSM signing of the eduGAIN feed. The HSM is provided by SUNET.
Finally, the attribute release services will be updated soon. More concrete information will be provided in the next eSG meeting.

Support team:
Low ticket numbers over summer.
We see an increase of actual end users raising tickets. This might have something to do with the Erasmus+ project.

F-ticks:
No updates from the F-ticks team.

Business development:

Business development was covered in the Secretariat update.

Team updates Security team:

Nicole provided an update. The has been working on a draft ToR for the eduGAIN CSIRT and a draft for the RFC-2350. This is a standard document which describes how the CSIRT will operate.
The are ready for evaluation on the wiki:
