GÉANT operates a closed mailing list for the REFEDS Federation Operators Group, to facilitate open discussions about operational issues of running Research and Education Identity Federations. The list operates with the following agreement (based on consisting of the Chatham House Rule amended with the possibility to ask for permission):
Participants of this list are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the source(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed. If this cannot be ensured redistribution of any information received requires prior express permission from the source(s).
People can request access to the mailing list. To be accepted for membership, two existing list members (at least one of which from a different organisation than that of the applicant) must express support for the inclusion.
...
Members of the FOG mailing list may also join the FOG XMPP MUC ( multi-user chat), which is operated under the same rules as the mailing list (see above). To get your JabberID authorized for the XMPP MUC send it to fog-request at lists.refeds.org, from the email address you're subscribed with to the FOG mailing list.
...
Participants must be voted in on an individual basis (so 2 different representatives of the same organisation might not be accepted) but REFEDS tracks the organisations represented on the FOG list.
