Since we're on this subject, it seems worth pointing out that Snorri's OpenID 2009 website captures many good ideas that we could work on:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://openid2009.org/">http://openid2009.org/</a></div>

Great input Johannes, look forward to feedback from others. It would be great if we had a list of 2009 key goals and related OIDF initiatives that we could put on our website and ensure that all the OIDF board members, committee chairs, and WG chairs could speak about with the same message.<br>

Well, if it was up to me the list would be something like this:<br>
<br>
1. OIDF is organizationally and financially sound for the long term and for the benefit of the entire global community.<br>
Evidence: permanent staff, further increasing corporate support, well- planned/coordinated activities are taking place world-wide.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
Evidence: corresponding results of a brand survey<br>
<br>
3. The user experience issue has been solved in theory and practice.<br>
Evidence: User experience is virtually identical at all sites supporting OpenID; no major gripes by actual/would-be adopters.<br>
<br>
4. OpenID is broadly used.<br>
Evidence: Transaction volume is commensurate with the deployed identities.<br>
<br>
5. OpenID-related innovation is driven by the needs of the marketplace, not just technical coolness<br>
Evidence: Substantial, active involvement in a broad range of working groups by mainstream businesses<br>
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
