Re Dick's point below please be advised events using the phrase Open
Identity were named by Burton Group...  Burton Group thinks it is a
different and broader term.

Is Open Identity and OpenID the same thing now? ... I don't think they are,
and I think it is critical to the OpenID brand to use the term OpenID and
not conflate it with Open Identity.

Subject: [OpenID board] Facebook is renewing OpenID Foundation
	membership

As the quarterly Board meeting is this afternoon, David and I wanted to
provide an update as to where Facebook is thinking both around its
membership in the Foundation and goals for OpenID. We've decided to renew
our sustaining membership.

While the recent votes show that there are a number of organizational issues
still to work out, I still think that the Foundation is the best hope to
create a unified identity standard across industries. Our hope is that the
Foundation can also provide value to those technologists wanting to move
OpenID forward. As part of that, David and I want to provide more resources
- both time and money - to make OpenID a world-class identity foundation for
the decades to come.

For the next six months, our plan is to foster the development of an
identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0. This is the direction that the industry
is moving in, and we think that if the OpenID Foundation doesn't play a
leading role in its development, then it's not clear what the purpose of the
organization is. Obviously this isn't the technical solution for every piece
of the larger internet identity problem, but we see the Foundation as a
place to lead progress across a number of industries.

Specifically, I think we need the following to happen in order to see
progress and plan to make substantial contributions toward doing so:

- Start active work on the OpenID Connect spec by August 16. This gives
ample time for those who wish to contribute to submit their IPR agreements.
- By end of year, we need several interoperable implementations in the wild.
- Build out excellent documentation, open source libraries, and other
supporting materials for the Foundation's core technologies.

Facebook plans to do the following to help:

- Host a face to face Board meeting and tech summit at our campus in Q4
(likely November).
- Provide funding to the OpenID Connect working group in addition to any
funding it may receive from the Foundation.
- Lead and contribute to technical discussions about the details of the
identity layer (many of these have already begun).
- Ship an implementation of OpenID on top of OAuth.

Google has done a great job the past six months continuing to move OpenID
2.0 forward and working with the community to understand the missing pieces.
It's our hope that we can do the same with OpenID Connect and that many of
the company's represented within the Foundation will help to make it happen.

I'll use that date to beat our lawyers over the head on getting Google's IPR
agreement signed by that date.  Unfortunately it is still sitting in a long
queue :-(
