Sorry for the spam, or if this is repeated. The right place to sign up to get the OGSA-WG and AuthZ notices is on the gridforum.org pages for each of these groups. I am posting this notice to the lists above for your information and in case this is of general interest. Note there is a face-to-face in Sunnyvale at Fujitsu in January for the OGSA-groups, including an afternoon OGSA-AuthZ session to be organized I believe by Von and Frank; please direct questions to them on the details. Next major discussions after that will be in Vienna (see the info on the web page for the EUGridpma.org site), and at GGF16. There will be some discussion no doubt at the EDUCAUSE/NMI-EDIT CAMP workshop (Google it for details). Alan Begin forwarded message:

3) OGSA Basic Security Profile discussion (30 min) Takuya will send out a proposal to the list.

...

Takuya explained the current status. The Secure Channel was split into Core and Secure Channel a couple of weeks ago. But the relationship, if any, of these two specifications is still unclear. Alternatives were discussed and Takuya took on the assignment to clarify whether there is a need for a Core profile---if its contents are all MLS (message level security) specific perhaps it should be included within the (scheduled) MLS profile instead. Takuya is discussing this issue with Frank and he will send out a proposal to the list.
