[OpenID] OpenID + Government

[John Bradley]

Peter, Brett

As a member of Liberty, Kantara, ICF, and OIDF.   I can say that I  
have never seen any indication of Liberty plotting against openID or  
info-card.  (I do go to most of the secret meetings)

The issue with physical access is more one of not trying to boil the  
ocean.

There is real desire by real government RPs to use open technologies  
and work with commercial identity providers.  There are RPs I am  
working with who want this yesterday.

This first step is hard enough.  Many people have been working hard  
for many months.

One of the ways we have been able to make progress is by limiting the  
scope.

We could have done physical access, LoA 4,  p-cards and other things.

The initial program by the GSA is a start not an end to the process.

There will be changes to the initial profiles and additional profiles  
as time and requirements permit.

This first step is a scary amount of work,  give us time please.

John B.
