So I agree, but not sure if we don't have people thinking about the policy aspects that we will do a good job in this area, thus just having a conformance I don't think will promote those thoughts

Tony, any of the checklists could stipulate requirements for consent policy

As does the draft for the trusted email profile

'show at most one page in 99% of the consent flows once the user is authenticated'

So it seems that Policy was dropped out of the original description of the charter. The problem is that not factoring in policy concerns more generally in OpenID v.Next could hurt adoption. An example would be the lack of prior informed consent for the linking that might occur as OpenID v.Next goes up the assurance scale, but maybe no one is interested in OpenID going beyond Level 1.

What follows is a draft charter for the OpenID Certification working group.  Feedback is welcome, as are potential working group participants.  There is also a draft of some specific certification check lists<http://docs.google.com/View?id=ajkhp5hpp3tt_72gtng7zff> that I hope will spawn feedback.


(a)  Charter.


(i) WG name:  OpenID Certification
(ii) Purpose:  Produce certification checklists for the use of OpenID in different use-cases so that neutral certification bodies such as OIX can validate IDPs against them as opposed to requiring each RP to individual perform such an analysis of each potential IDP. Specific goals are:
Define the checklist for at least one use-case
Have at least one IDP certified against that checklist by a certification body
Have at least one RP who will dynamically support the published list of IDP(s) that have been certified
(iii) Scope:  Produce a list of certification use-cases, and checklists for them.  We expect this work will identify the need for additional enhancements to the technical standards, but in general this WG will not directly develop those standards, but will coordinate with other OpenID WGs to define the necessary standards.
(iv) Proposed List of Use-Cases: The initial targeted use-cases are listed below based on discussion<https://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/UXFedLogin/whitelisting> from the April 2010 OpenID Summit and a later draft proposal<http://docs.google.com/View?id=ajkhp5hpp3tt_72gtng7zff>.
Trused Email Profile
Email Validation Profile
Untrusted Email Profile
URL only Profile
Email Hosting Profile
(v) Anticipated audience or users of the work:  Implementers of OpenID Providers, Relying Parties, and certification bodies.
(vi) Language in which the WG will conduct business:  English.
(vii) Method of work:  E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list, working group conference calls, and face-to-face meetings at the Internet Identity Workshop and OpenID summits.
(viii) Basis for determining when the work of the WG is completed:  Work will not be deemed to be complete until there is a consensus that the resulting set of use-caess (and checklists) are sufficient to meet the market needs for OpenID certification. Additional proposed use-cases behond the initial list are expected.
(b)  Background Information.


(i) Related work being done in other WGs or organizations:  ICAM, InCommon, Open Identity Exchange (OIX), Kantara
(ii) Proposers:
Eric Sachs, esachs at google.com<mailto:esachs at google.com>, Google (chair)
Allen Tom, atom at yahoo-inc.com<mailto:atom at yahoo-inc.com>
Additional proposers to be added here
(iii) Anticipated Contributions:  None.
