Subject: Re: [External Sender] Re: ***URGENT ACTION***: EC Vote on ConnectID Pilot

Hello all

I have now heard a "Yeah" from all 5 members of the EC with voting rights so the Resolution is unanimous in support.

On this basis, the Resolution passes, and I will take action to put the Resolution into effect as instructed.

-----Resolution on ConnectID Pilot For EC Email Vote ------


  *   Whereas ConnectID is a member of the OpenID Foundation and has directed $135k in funds to support FAPI 2.0 test development in 2022,
  *   Whereas ConnectID seeks to direct funds to close additional gaps in their launch year ecosystem design, and they will be one of the first ecosystems to deploy several specifications (FAPI 2.0, CIBA, Federation, and OID4IDA)
  *   Whereas ConnectID is one of the first deployments to combine multiple specifications into a single test suite, and is one the few private ecosystems proposing to have both OP and RP mandates to conform to certification,
  *   Whereas ConnectID prefers to leverage OIDF certification instead of reverting to building their own in house test and certification functions
  *   Whereas standard OIDF pricing could incentivize behaviors that are not aligned to our Mission and Vision especially when entities need to test two to four OIDF specifications in a bundle,
  *   Whereas a pilot to explore an alternate pricing model can benefit ConnectID, its ecosystem participants, other private and public sector ecosystems considering adopting our specifications and certification program, and in so doing support the OIDF vision and mission,
  *   Whereas ConnectID and OIDF see the benefits of a strategic relationship, including ConnectID upgrading to  a Sustaining Board membership level to ensure consistent participation in the Strategic Direction of the OIDF,

Resolution

  *   The EC resolves to pursue the ConnectID Pilot, as per the full description below, which includes five  distinct components:

     *   A clear term of no more than 1 year, especially on pricing
     *   Sustaining Membership
     *   $100k of Directed Funding to close gaps in OIDF test suites
     *   ConnectID Pilot pricing
     *   ConnectID Profile support
The EC empowers the Executive Director to enter into a Directed Funding agreement that encompasses solely the Directed Funding portion of the Pilot Scope, and to publish this Resolution online, as per standard Executive Committee practice for transparency to community members.
