[gin-auth] Re: Create a VO for MultiGrid team ?

[Von Welch]

If you want to have a managed namespace, the only strongly-managed,  
ubiquitously understood global namespaces in cyberspace that I'm  
aware of are DNS and OIDs (with X509 DNs being a maybe if you stick  
to the Grid world).

Pursuing DNS, I'm just thinking of 'ggf.org' as a managed namespace  
root to help guarantee uniqueness of the vo name rather than an  
attempt to imply organizational affiliation of the VO or some  
indicator of where the VOMS server sits. Presumably anyone else  
creating a VO in that namespace will coordinate through GGF and  
become aware of any conflict in name.

  Any of our DNS namespaces would do, but ggf.org captures the spirit  
of the VO nicely in my opinion.

(Re EGA merger, my guess is that it's a safe bet that GGF won't give  
up ggf.org anytime soon even if it does change its primary domain.)
