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

[Oxana Smirnova]

Hi,

I'm sorry, but what if soon somebody else will create a VO called GIN? How can we tell one from anther? Maybe such a VO already exists and we are going to infringe on somebody's rights?

What I mean, please let's call it GRID.GIN, or GGF.GIN, or at least (worse is only simply GIN) GIN.GGF.ORG, before we all agree on globally unique VO names. Oscar, you should know better than anybody else about the "FUSION" VO name clash couple of weeks ago.

Cheers,
Oxana
