Alternative of the Globus CACan be trusted within A-P communities
Production-level CAStrict management is necessaryExpected to be trusted by international communitiesKISTI GRID CA and AIST GRID CA has been approved as a production level CAASGC CA are under reviewing their CP/CPS (expected to be approved shortly)Australia has a plan to launch a new production-level CA
Questions (examples)Can TeraGrid trust AIST GRID CA?Can TeraGrid trust AIST GRID CA?
How is the procedure for reviewing?Do AIST GRID CA need to be reviewed by individual organizations (NCSA, PSC, SDSC, …)?If KISTI GRID CA wish to be trusted by TeraGrid, is separate review necessary? Can DOEGrid PMA be responsible?Can APGrid PMA help?
Can ApGrid/PRAGMA trust TeraGrid CA?Can ApGrid/PRAGMA trust TeraGrid CA?How is the procedure for reviewing?Do ApGrid/PRAGMA need to review all CAs (NCSA, PSC, SDSC, etc.)?Can APGrid PMA be responsible?Can DOEGrid PMA help?
KEK/Japan may launch a new CA.KEK/Japan may launch a new CA.Do the CA need to be reviewed by EUGrid PMA?Can APGrid PMA help?
