PID: Document

CBA: Document, Payback Schedule

Roadmap:

Service Description: eduroam Managed IdP (Pilot)

Service Policy: idem, chapter 2 - update with additional eligibility to use as discussed 16/2

Service Design Documents:

Pilot Plan:

  • basic UAT: validate all steps of workflow
    initial signup
    manual one user creation
    CSV user creation
    invitation issuance
    installer pickup
    eduroam usage
    credential expiry /revocation
  • input regarding various design choices
    tracing: how important is it group users across credentials with Chargeable-User-Identity?
    product exclusivity: Managed IdP XOR normal RADIUS profiles
    import: is the choice "manual" and "import by CSV" sufficient? Which other user upload method would people like?
    credential communication: is it okay to leave means of sending invitation token to admin? Shall we implement a "Send by email/Skype/Facebook"?
    deadman switch: is this appreciated/its necessity understood? What would be a comfortable interval for participants?
    end-user import: is the "one time import password" mechanism understood? If any, what are its UX problems?
    OS autodetection: does this work well enough - and do end users "get it" that they should visit the download page with the exact device they want to configure?
    re-use of invitations: one invitation, one credential, one device? Or should invitation allow multiple devices, or be good for a certain amount of time for an arbitrary number of devices?
  • Cost recovery and pricing model - verify the assumptions of required income for sustainability post GN4-2 as per CBA figures. Define a final target price before transition to service.

KPIS - See CBA and PID.
