"...described in section 3.6" appears to be an error. Section 3.5 describes Dispute Resolution

The eSC ToR has an additional item under eSC responsibilities that is missing from the eduGAIN Constitution: "Approving, supporting and chairing eduGAIN Working Groups". Is that omission intentional?

Both mentions of "... as per section 2.2." seem questionable. Section 2.2 describes the eduGAIN Steering Committee.

The 2 URLs at these lines begin with "http://". Both redirect to their secure equivalent. It'd be best to point directly to their "https://" equivalents.

The amended constitution still reads like eduGAIN is only a point of metadata exchange among federations. Is that the intent? Is there any work underway to address other matters essential to trusted and scalable interoperation among entities registered in eduGAIN: broad adoption of interoperability profiles; mappable operating (security, privacy, support, etc) policies? Does eduGAIN intend to take an active role in helping newer/smaller federations grow/mature in their capabilities so that there is parity across federations?
