- REFEDS R&S and GÉANT Data Protection Code of Conduct adoption should be the primary focus of this work area in the first instance. Priorities:
- Identity federations that are adopting and document.
- Calls / discussions with federations asking if will adopt (talk to Mikael about approach for Code of Conduct).
- Review supporting documentation requirements for R&S.
- Follow-ups from training in Porto (agenda/presentations, attendees) - perhaps online training clips?
- We've been asked to slow-down on creation of entity categories until federations have more experience with what is available but two are in discussion:
- Academia. Talk with Mikael, Lukas and Niels.
- Affiliation. Previously discussed at REFEDS but not taken forward.
- Establish a liaison with Enabling Users and identify groups that want to use the categories (e.g. CLARIN already mandates use of CoCo within their SPF)
- Discuss with Brook / eduGAIN SG - should categories become edugain "recommendations" or best practice or does that over complicate eduGAIN processes?
