SLA Reference Group
TENET's SLA Reference Group is a standing committee of TENET's Board that will take place on 21 September 2023.
Its mandate is to advise the Board on all aspects of the contractual relationship with TENET, assessment of TENET's service delivery performance, and other related matters. Each institution that has signed TENET's REN Services Agreement is entitled to designate two individuals to act as members of the Reference Group.
This side meeting requires separate registration, and is limited to those nominees or otherwise by invitation.
SAFIRE Participants' Forum
A SAFIRE Participants' Forum meeting will take place on 21 September 2023.
SAFIRE's Participants' Forum is the primary means by which South African Identity Federation participants drive the federation's technology and direction. It has formal terms of reference, which include voting for the SAFIRE Steering Committee. However, both bodies have not met for some time, and this Forum meeting will focus on possible futures that streamline the federation's governance.
This side meeting requires separate registration, and is limited to representatives of SAFIRE participants.
