Explore CILogon subscription #15

Since CILogon is a critical piece of RCD Nexus infrastructure that enables us to outsource almost all user vetting to institutional IDPs, we should explore obtaining a proper subscription.

https://www.cilogon.org/subscribe

The main advantages of the "Essential Service" tier for us is a proper SLA and a custom CILogon login page, which could be branded for CaRCC/RCD Nexus instead of the basic green CILogon theme.

We should see if anyone in the WG has contacts with the CILogon team at NCSA/Illinois, or otherwise see how the subscription price fits into the current sustainment model (I2 grant).

I'll take this up with Dana. Seems like we should be able to piggyback off of I2 somehow, but we'll find out. $15K is a non-trivial expense on a recurring basis.
