Service Provider for EOSC-registered services

[JBodera]

PaNOSC will start to register services in the EOSC very soon and as a part of the process a Service Provider must be assigned.

It is not clear what is the best strategy for this. Ideally PaNOSC would have a consistent approach.
Options are:

1. The RI that is providing the service
2. PaNOSC and/or ExPaNDS
3. LENS and/or LEAPS
4. A new PaN Community body

As of today it is not clear what are the requirements to be listed "Service Provider" and whether that imposes some obligations/constraints via SLA or similar. It looks like the "Service Provider" does not need to be a legal entity, however it may be positive to have a "Service Provider" more permanent than just PaNOSC and ExPaNDS.

This topic is to be discussed and agreed at PMC level.
