2144Does this mean that all participatings federations would have to switch to an opt-out policy? Our (DFN-AAI) constituency wouldn't accept that, I'm afraid... (currently, 314 out of 374 IdPs are exposed to eduGAIN - after all).Wolfgang Pempe
3144I see here a possible conflict with Baseline Expectations FO1 and FO3, especially in terms of filtering out untrustworthy entities from the eduGAIN downstream metadata. Currently, this only applies to SAML1-only-entities, but the next step will be to remove SPs without a Privacy Statement URL. If the Steering Group were to ban such a thing, we'd have a problem...Wolfgang Pempe

We support adding ther ability to filter individual entities. We believe eduGAIN should implement more basic checks at this level, because now entities are dropped downstream (e.g. the UKAF filtering), while the checks are reasonable, doing it decentrally makes the system unpredictable (works in some federations, dropped from others). We should take this kind of actions at the source. Even mandate that downstream federations stop this kind of filtering altogether - either do it centrally or not at all.

5141 (rec 2.1)What is required here of IdPs exactly? Supporting 'personalized' as an IdP means that you must release that bundle to all SP's that request it. Does this mandate that all IdPs will be doing that? And what happens if they don't?SURFconext
6143 (rec 2.3)A clear mission and strategy for eduGAIN are in our opinion required to know what actions you need to take to get there. Some of the proposed recommendations depend on what the mission/vision of eduGAIN actually is. However, we accept that this does not exist yet and we believe that e.g. establishing a better governance model will help if this new governance will prioritze defining a mission and vision for eduGAIN.SURFconext
7153 (rec 3.1)We wholeheartedly support a balanced steering group with a real mandate to decide the direction and operation of eduGAIN and think it's instrumental in bringing about the other changes proposed in the document within a reasonable timeframe or at all.SURFconext
