In the sentence “Because there was not an agreed upon security model at the time the document was developed, the profile includes username/token and X.509 token credential profiles from WS-I for authentication”, I strongly request that the intro clause be dropped (“Because there was not an agreed upon security model at the time the document was developed,”). This intro clause at worst is not true and at best is misleading.

I remember making this request before, but my request must have been lost somewhere

Also, get rid of the “Marty” row in table 1

Thanks,

Marty

All,

I have cut the primer down by half so that we can send it off to IEEE. It is now under 6,000 words. Needless to say a lot of text got axed. I apologize if your favorite is gone. If something must be put back in, then please tell me where else to cut. We are allowed 12 references. We had over thrity. There are many more things referred to in the paper. Currently we have six references. We can add six more. By the way, none of the specs have citations … there are too many. Instead I point the reader at the ogf page. If you care to give me the six citations you feel we absolutely must have, and where they should go.

The current set is:

1. Foster, I., Kesselman, C., Nick, J. and Tuecke, S., The Physiology of the Grid: An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration. in, (2002).

2. Hunt, G. and Brubacher, D., Detours: Binary interception of Win32 functions. in Proceedings of the 3rd USENIX Windows NT Symposium, (Seattle, 1999), 135-143.

3. Morgan, M. and Grimshaw, A., Genesis II - Standards Based Grid Computing. in Seventh IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid, (Rio de Janario, Brazil, 2007), IEEE Computer Society, 611-618.
