FYI, I am on deck to review the Malaysian federation application to
eduGAIN. I'll be working on this in the next few business days.

All,

I present to you the application of: Malaysia / SIFULAN

who has Signed the eduGAIN Declaration, has a policy based on the
federation policy template that covers all the prescribed areas, is self
declaring their federation as a production service and is wanting to
join the global R&E federated environment. 

Since the policy and MRPS so closely aligns with the REFEDS
templates https://wiki.refeds.org/display/FBP/ I’ve decided to forgo the
summary document.

You can find more detailed information about the federation under
"eduGAIN Candidates” at
   https://technical.edugain.org/status.php

their policy and MRPS is linked from their federation
page https://sifulan.my but for completeness you can find them here:
 * Policy linked from https://sifulan.my/join.php (while titled DRAFT it
will be revised/approved as a result of this assessment).
 * MRPS https://sifulan.my/download/SIFULAN-MRPS-v1.pdf 

This application is from an organisation that is closely aligned with
the GÉANT community and their participation in eduGAIN will further
build links to the Malaysian academic community.

So I ask the following federations to specifically review the submission
by SIFULAN:
 * Ukraine / PEANO
 * United States / InCommon
 * United Kingdom / UK Federation
 * Algeria / ARNaai
 * Argentina / MATE

All eduGAIN members can (and should) provide feedback on this but to
share the burden of review around, these five (5) federations have a
specific responsibility. 

If you have any questions please contact the SIFULAN team (Suhaimi and
Muhammad Farhan) that are subscribed to this mailing list as well as
CC’d to this message.

Formal components of the membership process will be via the eduGAIN
Steering Group mailing list. 

Thanks,

Brook Schofield
