Maturing your trusted collaboration policy and good practice
The following diagram summarises the full ecosystem of policies relevant for a research infrastructure. It is intended to be used in two scenarios:
- The practical steps listed above are insufficient to address the policy needs of your research infrastructures due to size or complexity
- The practical steps above are not relevant as you have a more specific role such as the operator of an Authentication Source
The Policy Development Kit (PDK) version 2 identifies five main target audiences, functionally following the the AARC BPA 2025 hierarchy and identifying

But even if, for example. identifying the 'why and what' of your research collaboration (your 'primary assets') may not be AAI per-se (and hence greyed-out), it is very useful to know that before embarking on your AAI journey!
