What:

"Policies and procedures regulating the management of the membership of individual users, including registration, periodic renewal, suspension and removal, including forced removal due to policy violation. These must address the validation of the accuracy of contact information both at initial collection and on periodic renewal."

Why:

Membership management is crucial to allow Infrastructure Services to trust the validity and accuracy of User attributes sufficiently to be able to grant Users access.

How:

The lifecycle stages of individual users within a collection must be defined and managed from the collection of accurate registration data (with AUP acceptance, see PRU2 above) through to the user's eventual removal from the collection. The AARC Policy Development Kit provides a template Membership Management Policy and further guidance on its use, covering the stages itemised above, as well as personal data protection and record keeping for use in case of a security incident.

Checks:

• Define how collections must manage the lifecycle of their users
• Include the verification and periodic testing of users' contact information
• Use the AARC Top Level & Membership Management policies if required
