The changing nature of the Grid PKI landscape requires DOEGrids to develop new technologies and operational procedures.  To insure that DOEGrids can fulfill its mission, members of its PMA are active in the Global Grid Forum. 

PKI operational issues are contributed by the GGF working group: www.CAOPS.es.net
