Hi Gisela

There some good work that has been done by the JANET Wireless Advisory Group in the UK that may be of interest (in 
particular see the case studies and fact sheet section)

Case studies http://www.ja.net/development/wireless/wag/casestudies.html 

Resources (case studies and factsheets/guidance docs) http://www.ja.net/development/wireless/resources.html 

There's also some policies on guest wireless access based on eduroam (a federated authentication and remote 
authorisation mechanism for automated guest wireless access) 

Australian eduroam policies (draft) - <http://www.eduroam.edu.au/policy/index.html>

European eduroam policies (draft) - 
<http://www.terena.nl/tech/task-forces/tf-mobility/Deliverables/delI/Roaming_policy_document_v.1.2.pdf>

UK eduroam (known as LIN - Location Independent Networking) policies (draft) - 
<http://www.ja.net/development/aa/lin/linpolicy.pdf> 

Best Regards

Subject: [SECURITY] Wireless Guest Account Policy

I have been tasked with drafting an institutional policy concerning the use of wireless guest accounts.  Does anyone 
have one they can share?  Thanks in advance.
