Thanks Steve,
I have been following up on a batch of VOs that we no longer need to support and several that are to be 'decommissioned'. For the latter there is a formal process we need to invoke (which includes things like removal from the portal and GGUS). The NGS one is not entwined in these structures but ngs.ac.uk is in there and different!
Cheers,
Jeremy

Several methods are available to do this including a tar ball (http://hep.ph.liv.ac.uk/VomsSnooper/glitecfg.tar), VomsSnooper (https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/VomsSnooper_Tools) or even by hand.
