FYI - after a review of the relevant policy documents and metadata of
the two prospective eduGAIN member federations below, I have cast a
'Yes' vote for both to join eduGAIN. Please let me know if you have
questions or see a reason that I should change my vote.

Best Regards,

eduGAIN Delegates (and Deputies),

tl;dr

I have the pleasure to announce that the following federations have
progressed through the assessment of their policy and responded to the
feedback by their peer federations.

These federations are:
 * Morocco/eduIDM.ma <http://eduIDM.ma>
 * Mozambique/CAFMoz

Cast your vote
at [REDACTED]


More time… keep reading:

the Moroccan Identity Federation (eduIDM.ma <http://eduIDM.ma>) serves
the constituency of the NREN MARWAN. Their policy document (based on the
policy template), metadata registration practice statement (also inline
with the template) is declaring itself as a production federation is now
seeking inclusion in eduGAIN. MARWAN/eduIDM are long term partners in
ASREN and the AfricaConnect projects.

the Mozambique Identity Federation (CAFMoz) serving the constituency of
researchers and educators in Mozambique has received a lot of support
from the Brazilian NREN (RNP) and its federation (CAFe) in its development. 

You can review the supplied information which is accessible from the
eduGAIN Technical Status Page:
   https://technical.edugain.org/status.php

These documents have been assessed by your peers and pending issues
impacting eduGAIN membership have been resolved.

And as per section 3 of of the eduGAIN Constitution, I believe that the
application by this federation meets all of the mandatory requirements
for eduGAIN membership and as such now provide that information to the
membership of eduGAIN to seek your confirmation via this vote:
   https://evento.renater.fr/survey/edugain-sg-vote-2018-07-19-gn5hvaey

While there are 57 eduGAIN members at this point in time - only 50
members have an active voting right
(see: https://wiki.geant.org/display/eduGAIN/eduGAIN+Votes ).

This will be a vote by simple majority from today (Thursday 19th July
2018) until Friday 3rd August 2018.

The vote can end early if 26 votes in the affirmative are received
before the deadline from the 50 active voting members. Otherwise more
positive than negative votes are required by the deadline. Note that
only one (1) vote is accepted from an eduGAIN participant and the
delegate/deputy should determine who votes on behalf of their federation.

Votes cast by members that have been excluded from voting will restore
their voting rights for future voting occasions but will not affect the
outcome of this vote.

I'll provide an update on the progress of voting (and a reminder) in one
(1) week from today.

The OT is responsible for validating and accepting the metadata of these
federations if/once their status of member is accepted.

-Brook
