Hello everybody,

The GIN VO name has been change from 'GIN-GGF-ORG' to 'gin.ggf.org' with 
the approval of the security area directroy to use the ggf.org domain name.
All other configurations and registration have stayed persistently. 
Which means, the same portnumbers do apply on the same server with the 
same certificate.

Though the web site as been move to:
https://kuiken.nikhef.nl:8443/voms/gin.ggf.org/

The configuration for the vomses file has change to:

"gin.ggf.org" "kuiken.nikhef.nl" "15050" "/O=dutchgrid/O=hosts/OU=nikhef.nl/CN=kuiken.nikhef.nl" "gin.ggf.org"

And also the legacy support interface for mkgridmap has also changed with the URL change to:
group vomss://kuiken.nikhef.nl:8443/voms/gin.ggf.org  .gin.ggf.org
