Instructions
This section asks for your feedback on services and developments currently in GN4-2 and how you see they should be positioned in GN4-3 (from 2019 on).
They've been grouped by rough groupings rather than the internal project codes or current project structure as knowledge of GEANT project structure should not be a requirement to evaluate them. Please use the comments section if you'd like to break down the groupings more e.g. if you think one aspect should be stopped but not all.
You can indicate if you think it should be maintained, significantly changed/enhanced or dropped by adding +1 to the relevant column and adding extra detail in comments.
e.g.
| Name | Maintain | Change | Drop | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example service 1 | +1 (yourname - optional, but makes clarification easier) | This is the best example service ever! Keep it.(yourname - optional) | ||
| Example service 2 | +1 | Nobody is using this service, it is too complicated |
You can also indicate if GÉANT project, GÉANT community (independently of project) or another group should be the main driver if you have opinions on those matters.
If you are not sure of the current status or direction of any of these services, feel free to check details with the listed people, or simply say what you think it should be, or contact Ann, Marina or Klaas for more info.

eduGAIN enhanced supportTroubleshooting coordination/support for complex interfederation issues, central SIRTFI support where needed, SP reg of last resort via UK Federation. Info Contact: Lukas Hämmerle | +1 (Thomas Lenggenhager) +1 (Wolfgang Pempe) | Registry of last resort with good support could be useful. Help candidate fed ops to increase their know-how and learn from others. (Thomas Lenggenhager) Based on the AARC recommendations, I'd advocate for the SP registry to be promoted more not only as an eduGAIN enhancement but as a capability for GEANT to not only broker contracts on behalf of the members but also offer the technical platform to connect SPs to eduGAIN. Specifically I'm referrring to SPs that are explicitly global or pan european in scale and have little direct working relationshoip with federations, and/or those for which GEANT has a framework agreement. | ||
