Notes

Step 1: Initial application 

Candidate NRO sends application in to help@eduroam.org. 

 

  • Secretariat acknowledges receipt
  • Secretariat notifies GeGC and specifically the region in question


Step 2: eligibility check - NRO 

Assure that due diligence has been done and that the candidate is an appropriate NRO.
  • Candidacy of the organisation as regional NRO is determined (see notes)
  • Lightweight check of charter requirements by Secretariat
  • Check and confirmation of regional requirements by GeGC representatives for that region  
As eduroam only allows one roaming operator per region, a clear process is needed to determine which organisation will be accepted.

 

This process is currently unclear regarding who makes this decision / recommendation. All eligibility discussions should be via the helpdesk to ensure we have evidence of the process taken 


Step 3: Technical check / pilot phase

Ensure that the candidate has the technical capacity to operate in the region / territory and that there is capacity to grow the service.

  • Check NRO is meeting its monitoring and reporting requirements
    • Federation Level RADIUS server in place
    • RO infrastructure tested in
    pilot phaseWhat are the criteria that says that an NRO has “passed” the
    • pilot phase
    ? 
    What other technical checks?

     


    Step 4: Signing of Compliance Statement

    		Ensure that policy requirements are met
    • Compliance statement sent to the candidate NRO for signing
    • Compliance statement stored
    Where do we want to store compliance statements?

     

    Should this be in monitor?


    Step 5: GeGC approval

    		Ensure that the community accepts the member and the process followed
    • Secretariat to forward formal application to GeGC.
      Members get x time to object or request more information about the candidate.
    Not restrict it to GeGC meetings. Approval could be done via email?

     


    Step 6: formal notification of acceptance 

    Prepare candidate to be production ready

    • Secretariat (on behalf of the GeGC) sends welcome message to NRO
    • OT to tie up loose ends with NRO
