Becoming a Member of the ILC VO
Firstly, you need to become a member of the ILC Virtual Organization (VO).
Follow the workflow at https://grid-voms.desy.de:8443/vo/ilc/vomrs which will require several rounds of confirmations and emails.

VOMS Server
It is my understanding that before you do anything, you need to authenticate with a proxy server called a "VOMS server".

voms-proxy-init -verify -debug -voms ilc

This needs to be done at the start of every session.
If you get the message

VOMS Server for ilc not known! |
when trying to run voms-proxy-init this command, or any other command, then the information about the ILC VOMS server is missing and needs to be installed at your site.
The ilc VOMS file can be found at http://grid.desy.de/etc/vomses/ilc-grid-voms.desy.de and should be added to the list of VOMS configuration data kept in ~/.glite/vomses, or the site's grid administrator can add this information to a central config file.
