[Fim4l] World is not covered with NREN's and good AAI

[Heather Flanagan]

The Asia Pacific region has similar challenges and requests for training to help establish identity federations. The Australian Access Federation has been of great help there via the Task Force for Identity and Access Management (TF-IAM) in the Asia Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) consortia. I’d be happy to set up a call or do introductions to see what kind of material can be shared to help these new federations kick off.

While the call with Jos, Raoul and Peter was very helpful for our contacts in Georgia, there were still some discussions with other countries which understood some things slightly differently ...

Several countries in eastern Europe and Africa are seeking to implement federated authentication & authorization infrastructure. This is a rather struggling task to build up NREN's like we are familiar with.
