In this task we derive baselines recommendations for adoption by operational infrastructures such as eduGAIN, in particular highlight the effects of basic federation model choices, and provide - for the benefit of new federations and for 'research infrastructure centered' community services (the IdP-SP proxy architectural model identified by the JRA1 Architecture task) guidance as to which model is applicable given the operating model of a community. It is also clear that the sustainability model for federated services will evolve: translation services, guest identity providers, and attribute authorities must have a model that permits them to be supported by different entities (e-infrastructures for credential translators or as hosts of attribute authorities, research communities that are self-sustained and will operate their own services, etc.).
- development of a sustainability and operating model for emerging (AARC pilot) services, such as the "CILogon+ pilot for Europe"
- business model development around (open source) commercial cloud services for European RIs - such as collaborative environment
- pilot on providing a 'IdP-of-last-resort' (often called an IdP for the homeless) alongside an attribute authority - and look at prospective charging models: single person individual charging, community-based charging, SP paying per authentication, or other options.
