Registering Contact Information

OSG staff keep track of contact information for OSG Consortium participants to provide access to OSG services, notify administrators and security contacts of software and security updates, and coordinate in case of security incidents or troubleshooting services.

The OSG contact management service is backed by InCommon federation, meaning that contacts may register with the OSG using their institutional identities with familiar Single Sign-On forms.

Privacy Notice

The OSG treats any email addresses and phone numbers as confidential data but does not make any guarantees of privacy. All other data is public (such as name, GitHub username, and any association with particular services or collaborations).
