Abstract:The International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF) is a body to establish common policies and guidelines between its Regional and Continental Policy Management Authorities (PMAs) members and to ensure compliance to this Federation Document amongst the participating PMAs. IGTF is hte trust "glue" for Grids. The Grid is a distributed computing paradigm and middleware that is supporting large scale, world-wide scientific research such as the LHC in physics. IGTF is composed of three regional PMAs, each supporting a separate zone in the world: EUGridPMA, TAGPMA, and APGridPMA.
