[Hiro Kishimoto]

Thanks Alan,

I agree to have charter BoF at OGF19 in order to complete
WG creation. Thus I prefer to bring draft charter including
concrete deliverables and detailed milestones (and use BoF
session to adjust or improve them).

The following is my thoughts off the top of my head.

> 1) Review existing security profiles resulting from previous efforts
> of the Security area and security design group from the OGSA-WG effort
> 
> a) Compare them to existing technology and best practices in the
> community and check for consistency of coverage
> 
> b) Document authentication profiles that may be missing or incomplete
> 
> c) Review mature and maturing technologies likely to affect the
> above best practices for grid services

The above topics will end up to "OGSA AuthN Community Practice
document (GFD-C)."

> 2) Provide an AuthN development roadmap to compare with the overall
> OGSA roadmap

This should also include OGSA Authentication architecture and will
be informational document (GFD-I).

> 3) Spawn any subgroups and/or suggest associated research groups that
> may be necessary for consistent development in this area.

Since it is not output document. It may be optional or a part of
exit strategy.

Since this is working group, you also need to answer the following
7 questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Seven Questions

1. Is the scope of the proposed group sufficiently focused?

2. Are the topics that the group plans to address clear and relevant for
the Grid research, development, industrial, implementation, and/or
application user community?

3. Will the formation of the group foster (consensus–based) work that
would not be done otherwise?

4. Do the group’s activities overlap inappropriately with those of
another OGF group or to a group active in another organization such as
IETF or W3C? Has the relationship, if any, to the Open Grid Services
Architecture (OGSA) been determined?

5. Are there sufficient interest and expertise in the group’s topic,
with at least several people willing to expend the effort that is likely
to produce significant results over time?

6. Does a base of interested consumers (e.g., application developers,
Grid system implementers, industry partners, end-users) appear to exist
for the planned work?

7. Does the OGF have a reasonable role to play in the determination of
the technology?

Thanks,
----
