[tsc] Responses to Public Comments

[David Snelling]

Folks,

Here's my next one. Much easier than last night's. Same drill as  
before - object by the 25th.

The comment is here:

https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/topc4015

And reads:

Response:

The first above sounds more like a message to OGSA Authorization WG.  
The TSC document can only echo what the experts are actually working  
on. I recommend that the message be carried directly to the Security  
area.

We can certainly make that note about Virtual servers, as they are  
clearly on the roadmap.
