Notes

• David G: the word compendium was inspired by the Terena Compendium which helped NRENs compare between each other https://resources.geant.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/TERENA-Compendium-2011.pdf 
• Confluence may make most sense as a format
• AEGIS will take responsibility longer term for maintenance
• Comparing: compliance, what are you going to choose? Sustainable and scalable choices
• Infrastructures that provide AAI as a service, join up with one of the ESFRI RIs in your domain
• Link with EOSC - use case, also mention the data space, Health Copernicus    
• Need to provide reasonable alternatives to using Google Docs, bearing in mind small communities' budgets etc 
• OSCARS https://oscars-project.eu 
• Audience: 
  • Research infrastructure managers 
  • National EOSC Nodes
  • Unlikely any researchers
• Decision tree, how do you get started? Join up with an ESFRI? Do it yourself? Buy something? People want their own logo
