[OpenID] Why use SREG instead of AX?

[John Bradley]

I have done some work on the proposal.
http://wiki.openid.net/ProposalForAURLSchemaRegistry

I will fill in my proposal for the the process by the weekend.

There would be a open list for people to make formal registry requests.

The WG would have a list for people who have joined and made there IPR  
declaration.
The proposal would have 4 weeks to get at-least three +1 votes.
If it receives no -1 it would pass.

If there are -1 votes then the chair of the WG would hold a vote on  
the list.
Two thirds of the cast votes must be +1 to pass.

There will be an experimental status using http://experimental.openid.net 
.
People will need to specify if they are applying regular or  
Experimental.
The Bar would be lower for experimental but the applicant would need  
to reapply yearly to keep it in the registry.
