[gin-auth] Agreement on VO naming convention ?

[Dane Skow]

Am I correct in reporting that we reached consensus on the VO Naming  
convention below (at least as our first round attempt) ? Looks that  
way to me reviewing the list (thread from mid March), but I'd like to  
double check before claiming so publicly.


> VO Naming

> The VO name is a string, used to represent the VO in all interactions

> rights.
>
> The VO name MUST be formatted as a subdomain name as specified in
> RFC 1034 section 3.5. The VO Manager of a VO using a thus- 
> formatted  name
> MUST be entitled to the use of this name, when interpreted as a   
> name in the Internet Domain Name System.
> This entitlement MUST stem either from a direct delegation of the   
> corresponding name in the Domain Name System by an accredited   
> registrar for
> the next-higher level subdomain, or from a direct delegation of the
> equivalent name in the Domain Name System by ICANN, or from the   
> consent
> of the administrative or operational contact of the next-higher   
> equivalent
> subdomain name for that VO name that itself is registered with such an
> accredited registrar.

> Considering that RFC1034 section 3.5 states that both upper case   
> and lower

> all VO names MUST be entirely in lower case.
