AEGIS
AEGIS (The AARC Engagement Group for Infrastructures) is the approval body that reviews and endorses AARC guidelines, giving them official status within the research infrastructure community. It serves as the governance mechanism that ensures AARC specifications meet the practical needs of infrastructure operators and maintains quality standards for the guidelines that become part of the AARC framework. AEGIS has adopted several AARC guidelines (see full list here), which are mandatory for interoperable infrastructures. Support for AARC guidelines that are not required by AEGIS is optional, but will improve interoperability.
...
To be considered AARC Compliant, AAIs must support the following AEGIS endorsed guidelines. Please see the sections on Technical Requirements and Policy Requirements for further information.
