SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Board

The SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Board includes representatives of the most important stakeholder groups, including representatives from the BFI Community, political bodies in the field of education and SP Operators. The SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Board acts as an advisory organ concerning the long-term strategy of the SWITCH edu-ID service.

SWITCH consults with the SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Board concerning topics such as:

  • which categories of Federation Partners should be accepted
  • which categories of Federation Partners may operate an IdP or AP
  • interfederation agreement
  • planning of the future development of the SWITCH edu-ID and the SWITCHaai Federation, and administrative and technical optimisations
  • changes to the administration of the SWITCHaai Federation or this Service Description, and other documents specific to the federation

The SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Board has no decision-making authority. SWITCH decides on the composition of the SWITCH edu-ID Advisory Boards.
