Dear All the third and final protocol profile has just been uploaded on gridforge at https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc14905?nav=1 We now have a complete set of protocol documents plus an architecture overview document. These documents now need to be harmonised, as they use different terminology for the same functional components. Could people please look through these documents and give suggestions for the names of the various functional components which are variously named as: PDP, CIS, CVS, PEP, AA, IDP, STS. Once we finalise on a set of 4 names (PEP, PDP are probably non-controversial, but assertion creation and validation probably are) for the components we can revise the documents accordingly regards David -- ***************************************************************** David W.
