- AARC Bluepring Architecture - ARC2 has continued to work on the AARC Blueprint Architecture (AARC BPA), which is still a great achievement. This has been and will remain for some time a cornerstone for those in charge of designing an AAI for their research collaboration. Beside working on a new version of the BPA that will be available by June 2018 (and will be more research community oriented), there has been ongoing work on the technical guidelines, as well as on the policy aspects. The latter is being address via the AARC Starter Pack (aka Policy Toolkit) which is being developed; this to address security and privacy aspects related to the AARC BPA.

- Guidelines - AARC produces different guidelines to support the deployment of the AARC BPA in research collaborations and to address interoperability across infrastructures. Guidelines that have a general purpose and are meant to facilitate inter-operability across infrastructures are discussed by the AEGIS group for endorsment. The "AARC Engagement Group for InfrastructureS" (AEGIS) has establish bi-directional channels between AARC and infrastructures (that deploy or are in the process of deploying an AARC compliant AAI) to advise each other on the developments and production integration aspects of the AARC results. The current guidelines endorsed by AEGIS are:
- Deliverables and milestones - These documents were defined as part of the AARC description of work.
- Guidelines on expressing group membership and role information (AARC-G002) - endorsed in Nov 2017
- Exchange of specific assurance information between Infrastructures (AARC-G021) - endorsed in March 2018
- Training - Training events for the research collaborations participating in AARC are organised as needed.
