Hi,

I think it is good to set standards for entities claiming to use the 
technologies related to the mark it might even be good to require a 
standardize way of disclosing what personal info is required to use/create an 
openid on that site but is there a clear policy about "meta" uses of the mark?

For instance, I am working with some people who would like to create some 
sites that discuss openid topics, so what is/would be the policy on things 
like a site named openidtopics.* or is that not even an issue?

Also, does anyone have a link to some of the original pages where openid was 
first announced and released, I can't seem to find those. Similarly, if 
someone has a timeline/outline of milestones in openid's evolution, I would 
appreciate any links.

Thanks,

Rob
