Notes

Welcome, Introductions & Agenda Agreement

Terry Smith (Chair) opened the eSG meeting and went through the open action. Two open actions from the March meeting can be closed. The open action on yearly auditing remains open.

Open actions

There were no additional agenda points proposed.

Membership Updates and Joining

The SG welcomed TIGERfed from Bangladesh as newest eduGAIN member.

Further candidacy updates were discussed under Team Updates: Business Development.

Contact information management
Only 31/72 federations have a dedicated security contact listed on the technical website.

It would be very helpful to the security team if all federations have a dedicated security contact listed.

Management contact: checked all federations' signed policies and noticed that for many the signing organisation no longer exists or the signatory has left the organization.
The Secretariat would like to set up a management contact database. Reasons to set up:
1) Federation Operator isn't responding to messages from the Support or Security team
2) Federation Operator isn't responding to messages from Chair, service owner and secretariat.
3) To confirm delegate changes

  •  ACTION: Secretariat to create database
  •  ACTION: Send out request to provide a security contact before 1st July

Team Updates

Operation team:

CAFMoz and MATE are still suspended. AAF is working with CAFMoz to get them back on board. 

The validator has been updated after the problem with duplication of the description attributes for the same language, which violates the standards. Checks were added, not only for the description, but also for other attributes that are listed in the same group. Now it cannot have multiple values for the same language anymore. It will be shown as an error and the metadata will be rejected.


Support team:
F-ticks:

The number of tickets is stable. The main challenge for the support team is federations not answering to tickets.


F-Ticks and eduGAIN Reporting

Davide Vaghetti presented on the tools and core services used to run eduGAIN. Currently the development and maintenance of the tools and services is done by multiple smaller teams with different practices and service infrastructures used. The plan is to instal one unified team that will be responsible for maintaining and further developing the tools and services.
This team will define coding and deployment practices and consolidate the infrastructures used to run the services and tools.

The eduGAIN Reporting tool now moved from the Incubator task to the eduGAIN service. The eduGAIN service now works on finishing the development and works on the transition to production. 

The Privacy Notice for F-Ticks has been updated and the team is looking into integrating F-Tick into the aforementioned reporting tool. More participants are needed to make F-Ticks successful. Please reach out to the team if you would like to participate.

Business development:

Latin America: RedCLARA applied with their own federation FIEL. The aim of the federation is to serve Latin-American countries without their own NREN. On the other hand RedCLARA will support small federations in the RedCLARA membership. One of these federations is YAMI from Costa Rica, which has also applied for membership.

Africa: The AfricaConnect3 project is working on a catch-all federation. The aim is to support AC3's members setting up their own federations and in the meantime support the African R&E community's federated services.
Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria are preparing to set up their own federations and will apply any time soon.

The team is planning a follow up with ASREN after training sessions end.

Team updates Security team:

The SheerID incident was handled by the security team. All affected institutions have been (indirectly) contacted.

The Security Team would like to stress out that without a designated security contact communications will be impossible. In case your federation doesn't have a security contact listed, please inform the secretariat.

EOSC AAI Federation

Christos Kannelopoulos (GÉANT) presented on current works in EOSC and possibility to form a EOSC AAI Federation in the (near) future.

Re-imaging eduGAIN

...

An eduGAIN Futures working group will be established. The charter can be found here: eduGAIN Futures Working Group Charter. Please inform the secretariat if you want to participate in this working group.
