Well, if it was up to me the list would be something like this:
1. OIDF is organizationally and financially sound for the long term
and for the benefit of the entire global community.
Evidence: permanent staff, further increasing corporate support, well-
planned/coordinated activities are taking place world-wide.
2. The OpenID brand is clearly defined, known and considered valuable
by the general public (not just techies), and backed by an effective
trademark regime.
Evidence: corresponding results of a brand survey
3. The user experience issue has been solved in theory and practice.
Evidence: User experience is virtually identical at all sites
supporting OpenID; no major gripes by actual/would-be adopters.
4. OpenID is broadly used.
Evidence: Transaction volume is commensurate with the deployed
identities.
5. OpenID-related innovation is driven by the needs of the
marketplace, not just technical coolness
Evidence: Substantial, active involvement in a broad range of working
groups by mainstream businesses
Obviously, if one breaks those down, there are many activities that
need to happen on the way to be able to reach those objectives. I
don't want to downplay them -- many of them are not easy -- but it may
help to first figure out what the objectives are and then to discuss
how to get there, instead of the other way around.
