[TC-RG] TC RG Proposed Shutdown

[wenbo.mao at hp.com]

Dear All,

While as a group leader I do feel responsible for not having been
successful to generate a high interest in this work, we have nevertheless
been working out the technicalities through other forums, and are not
insuccessful in that regard. A Daonity demo system was released on
November 17th in the Daonity Homepage:

http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Wenbo_Mao/daonity/daonity.html

(binary executable and source), where one may also find sufficient amount
of supporting material.

If at present we cannot convince the OGF community the usefulness of
Trusted Computing for grid security (not your fault), we then agree to
shut this group down. In the mean time, we shall continue working on the
technicalities. For the interested, please keep an eye on the above URL.
Thank you!

Best regards,
Wenbo Mao

> - There have been no active discussions on the mailing list or regular
> conferences calls
>
> - Attendance at the TC RG sessions has been minimal

> We have queried the chairpersons about their continued interest and

> - They are unable to commit to completing the existing draft use-case

>
> - They do not have a proposal for re-chartering the group to engage a
