current draft and comment on the current open issues (or raise others). This means that interested parties will need to engage within the next few days to have maximal effectiveness. I encourage those interested in OGSA to engage on the Basic Profile = now. =20 The response to the question about which use cases from the OGSA use case document must be supported by the Basic Profile was "all of them". However, since we will not have a normative spec for WS-Delegation by June, nor do I know any other credential delegation standard, I suspect there was likely a misunderstanding. Takuya will follow up on that question. =20 I believe Hiro and Ian (chairs of OGSA-WG) will second me in saying that input on this document from security experts is welcomed and requested. The most effective form would be for people to join the mailing list and attend the relevant phonecons. The next most effective is to download and read the current drafts and provide comments to the list. =20 Frank and Takuya have volunteered to try to alert the area about relevant phonecons and open issues. However, they will not be able to relay comments/discussion with this short timeline. Interested parties will have to join them directly to keep up with the discussion. =20 Cheers, Dane =20
