Hi Peter,

I support your points.

I agree with Bernd's: "there are obviously different opinions about when
"required"
should be used."

I am all in with Meshna and Jos that FIM4L recommendations need to be
modified now
to play nicely with new REFEDS entity categories proposed by Seamless
Access.

We also need to revisit:
"eduPersonEntitlement, with other values, representing group or role
memberships in alignment
with AARC Guidelines on expressing group membership and role information"
in FIM4L's recommendations. This is currently used at Prague's Charles
University for example
to describe users faculty affiliations and it is providing SPs with
informations needed for authorisation
when there are licences for faculty students and staff. This is not clear
in the REFEDS entity categories
specs how SPs are supposed to authorise faculty, campus, departments users.

Cheers

          Jiri
