This consultation runs from December 16, 2020, to January 15, 2021.

Background

The Cloud Scorecard Working Group invites you to participate in a consultation on the Cloud Scorecard Working Group Final Report.

The working group final report is a recommendation for the development of a cloud scorecard to help research and education (R&E) institutions quickly assess the degree to which cloud services meet common requirements for operating in the complex technology, security, compliance, and legal environments in R&E. The cloud scorecard will allow service providers to express their readiness within a series of dimensions that are widely used across R&E institutions. The scorecard will provide institutions with a first pass at evaluating prospective service providers, in an effort to shorten time to procurement and reduce duplication of effort.

Documents for Review/Consultation

What is a Consultation?

Working groups and advisory groups produce reports, recommendations, standards, best practices, and related documents. These are then provided to the community for review in the form of a consultation. In addition, policy and other documents developed by Internet2 Trust and Identity & NET+ division staff may undergo the community consultation process to gather broader input and awareness before becoming finalized.
