Hi Paul,

thanks for the feedback.

As a clarification:

- the current discovery.clarin.eu service has all the SPF countries on
board, for a total of 1872 identity providers (as listed at
https://www.clarin.eu/content/service-provider-federation)

- eduGAIN has some 3200 identity providers

Most EU countries are in the SPF (with some exceptions like Spain,
Ireland, Slovakia, Switzerland).

best,
