[OpenID] First Production RP starts accepting openID at NIH

[John Bradley]

No Problem Brett.  

Liberty and yourself have helped pave the road for all of us.

That is why we have organizations like the OIDF and Kantara.

No single one of us can do this on there own.

I am glad to be heading home to Santiago for the holidays today.

Thanks all.
John B.
