Dear authz members please find attached an updated version of the charter for ratification at the next GGF meeting. If you have any comments on this charter please raise them on the list or at the next meeting in Tokyo, where I hope to get it ratified. Finally, can I ask for volunteers to start work on the authorisation scenarios and use cases document. There must be many of you on the list who already have great experience of implementing or integrating authorisation mechanisms into your grid applications and know the scenarios that you are working with, and the authorisation features that you require. So it should not be difficult for you to write these down on one or two sides of A4. I am happy to act as editor and to coordinate your input into the GGF output document. I look forward to seeing you in Tokyo regards David -- ***************************************************************** David W.
