[OpenID] Q&A: Who gets to vote?

[Peter Williams]

The good news, for this list surely, is that the researchers are on the fence over openid.

Would you counter that? and say that they are actually decided one way or the other, Dave Kearns?

Gross canard withdrawn. There should be no impugned sleight that those research firms can be influenced by other than the objective merits of the topics under study, given the experience, judgment and reporting capabilities of their analysts.

If there is the convincing proof hereonafter that it is otherwise (with respect to the study of OpenID), I hereby promise to report it here, to you.

A fair fight is good for consumers in my view. Already, Liberty folk are learning to make detailed assurance arguments indicative of a rapidly maturing open market, and OpenID is evidently heading for additional technical work with other innovation technologies. Then, Facebook is what it is - a successful startup with many millions of happy users. Meantime, SSL/PKI is the supporting baseline for all of them in their web incarnations, just as I for one hoped.

If you have evidence of even a single instance of either Burton or Gartner
accepting money from a vendor to voice a particular opinion, please present
it. Otherwise I expect you to withdraw this gross canard.
