Impact of the war in Ukraine on eduGAIN membership

Russia only suspended from LHCONE at the moment. Belarus is no longer able to collaborate on EAP.
As things develop our position can change. If anything changes, the Secretariat will inform the eSG.

Recommend to extent the validity period. Longer validity increases resilliance.

Team Updates

Operation team:
Key generation earlier this month. Documentation was distributed and can be found on the Wiki. New infrastructure has been created. The new feed has come official as of today (22March 2022). The old feed is still available until 30 June 23:59UTC.
Inform the membership that the links will expire together with the old feed.

Support team:

No significant updates.

Reporting:
Working to get it into production. The production instance has been launched. Newly added: F-ticks aggregation and eduTEAMS platform. Aim to deploy the service beginning of April

Training:

Setting up a number of infoshares and webinars to present some of the eduGAIN check-in services. Goal is to (re)acquaint the membership with the services. More information will be shared on the discuss and SG mailing lists.

F-Ticks:

Internal requirement of 10 participants is not met yet. Reconsider the resources to run the F-Ticks operations. Currently 7 participants.

Security team:

Staff changes. New members from DFN CERT. Investigating if the team could help with checking the current software used to run the infrastructure.

No recommondations on entities from Ukraine and Russia.

eduGAIN Working Groups: Futures

Early draft of recommedations: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZBhSg2bPCPFoYDK9D7D8TKPowsSgo0Dri48E__ck4ts/edit#heading=h.2xtamkwqr31e

Anyone is invited to comment on the draft document.

Any other business

Okta. This breach could affect a large number of entities in eduGAIN. Not much information available at the moment.
