There are currently already several eduGAIN checking tools that examine the quality of an eduGAIN federation’s metadata, the connection status of their IdPs or the attribute release status of their IdPs. The results of these checks are public but only few federation operators seem to regularly consult the results. Also the eduGAIN Support team makes federation operators aware of some issues but not all and only irregularly.

It would be an improvement if all federation operators would receive a monthly email summarising the state of their federation. In particular the issues of their metadata, IdP connectivity and attribute release. 

By also adding some comparison numbers, the federation operators would get an idea of how well they do in comparison to other federations.

Overall this would increase the awareness of which issues a federation has, it would increase the motivation to fix them and it thus would increase the overall eduGAIN service quality.
