Let me clarify myself on the Policy point.

Policy says: "an encryption level SHOULD be WPA/TKIP or better". So Policy is not a show stopper for providing WPA/AES only.

Tomasz, all

let me comment/answer selectlively:

* we definitely have to change the Policy (I'd say: adjust it to the technical development) in the next year or so. The WPA problem is one of the those we have to deal with and IMHO should have implication on the new version of eduroam technical reqs. So I see it as a normal service evolution while your proposal with eduroam2 looks to me as a trial to avoid Policy ... and create annother service ... with another policy?

* our tools (eduroam database, maps) were designed to help and inform users on the cypher mash and provide info on WEP/WPA/TKIP/AES/XYZ. I woder why we are not using them to the full potential?
