Lew,
  That is the model that we have been using for the host certificates
where
the only other component is CN=host/fully.qualified.domainname

I would suggest using the same base for users as well, and then
optionally adding an OU for the user's real organization.

  Currently the LBNL-Grid-CA is configured to issue user certificates
with
O=Grid,O=National Fusion Collaboratory,OU=PPPL
 That means you can get those values off the pull-down menus at
https://idcg-ca/ (You don't actually see the O=Grid part,that is done
behind the scene.

Then you need an entry in the CA-siging-policy that the LBNL-Grid-CA can
sign for "/O=Grid/O=National Fusion Collaboratory/*"
