[OpenID board] October 29, 2014 OpenID Executive Committee Meeting Minutes

[Don Thibeau]

OpenID Foundation Board:

This is an update on regarding the development of OpenID Foundation's self certification of conformance to the OpenID Connect Standard.

Several companies have expressed interest being among the first adopters, Forgerock, Google, Microsoft, Ping Identity and Salesforce.
Deutsche Telkom and KDDI may join the effort. These companies are preparing technical testing, legal review and other resources to make the RSA goal.

We have a final, signed copy of the contract jointly developed with Umeå University for deployment and operation of conformance testing software.  The contract reflects the testing software is being developed with the European Union GÉANT project. OpenID Foundation, Umeå University and GÉANT project will jointly communicate the collaboration as part of the launch.

Microsoft legal will soon begin a review Tom Smedinghoff's drafts of the self-certification document and the terms of service document. We plan to combine these two documents into a single TOS agreement. Thanks in advance to Microsoft for the "directed funding" of these legal resource. We hope Microsoft's due diligence will facilitate  that of others. We soon will share a comprehensive FAQ. 

As Tony Nadalin requested we plan to add additional meetings to insure the Executive Committee and Board has viability into business, legal and technical developments.
Your attention in these matters is appreciated.

> The executive committee met late in the afternoon on the same say as the board meeting in the morning.  The executive committee and Roland Hedberg discussed a draft contract jointly developed by the foundation and a business administrator at Umeå University for deployment and operation of the OpenID Connect conformance testing software.  The contract deliverables are worded in terms of software deployment and operation and not software development.  This is because officially the software has been and is being developed by the European Union GÉANT project.  However, the executive committee recognizes that, to successfully deploy and operate the software, any missing software will need to be developed.
