[OpenID board] CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Wed Feb 27 07:28:34 UTC 2008 

It is going to be a work group that takes care for the data transfer
with reputation and contract system incorporated. It essentially is
the one that I presented at iiw2007b. The initial thoughts are posted
at http://wiki.openid.net/Trusted_Data_Exchange . Also, related is the
http://myidproject.net/?OpenIDReputationService which talks about PAPE
by the way.

It is in concert with OASIS Open Open Reputation Management System TC
(ORMS TC) which is planned to be started in April with Abbie Barbir of
Nortel as the TC Convener, and eventually the Chair (together with
Tony and me as the co-chair.) Perhaps you can participate in this TC
as well :-)

Cheers,

=nat

> What work group would you like to start or join?  At this point there are no active work groups, although I'm going to start one up to finalize PAPE as soon as some logistical issues are sorted out.  In particular, we have to finish getting OpenIDs from all the members so they can even vote on the creation of the work group!
