[OGSA-AUTHZ] SOAP and WS-Security with respect to current OGSA AuthN and AuthZ docs

[David Chadwick]

Concerning the Autthz agenda item, there is no progress to report since 
oGF20. One thing we might like to consider is how do we engage the 
community more in contributing to this work, or do we just throw in our 
hats and say that no-one is really interested in pushing the authz work 
forward anymore

regards

David
