For the following countries/federations we are relying on the automated eduGAIN metadata distribution. Therefore they are not listed in the [.. distribution matrix].

 * [[../DE]] (automatically harvests our SAML metadata and ingests it on our behalf in the eduGAIN feed)
 * [[../AT]] (automatically harvests our SAML metadata from the eduGAIN feed and ingests it in its national feed)
 * PT (automatically harvests our SAML metadata directly and ingests it in its national feed)

Identity federations for the following countries then consume the DE metadata via eduGAIN:

 * DK
 * EE
 * IT
 * NO
 * SE
 * SI
 * UK
 * FR
 * GR
 * HU
 * LT
 
For an explanation about why this dual distribution mechanism is in use, please see the [https://www.clarin.eu/node/3869 opt-in page].
