[OGSA-AUTHZ] Planning attendance for OGF-19 BoF: OGSA-AuthN WG

[Alan Sill]

I am working on the session form for OGF-19 for the BoF we would like  
to have on the OGSA-AuthN charter to set its initial direction and  
specific deliverables.  Anyone who would like to give a talk, keeping  
in mind that the session is short, is welcome.  A draft charter in  
short form for this group is at:

http://www.ggf.org/gf/group_info/charter.php?review&group=OGSA-AuthN-WG

and other related documents will be published shortly.

If you are interested in working on the topic of authentication for  
OGSA grid services, please do contact me.  All interested parties are  
welcome to this effort so we can keep grid services architecture  
authentication on a good design basis and in touch with the best  
current and future practices in the field.   I am also specifically  
recruiting help in the form of co-conveners to help with the  
leadership of this work group.

Please also welcome our new OGF Security Area Directors Blair  
Dillaway and David Groep, and give them the benefit of your  
communication on various related topics, and every possible  
cooperation, suggestions, work on documents and standards, etc.

If you are going to be in North Carolina for the OGF-19 conference  
and are interested in these topics, I would like to hear from you.

Best,
Alan
