[OpenID] Icam question at didw

[John Bradley]

I can say that the OIDF shares the concern of keeping costs down for  
small IdP.
That is why they are directly engaged in the process.

The goal is to get everyone who can meet the certification  
requirements certified.

The foundation doesn't have the financial resources to make that free  
however.

If the membership has strong feelings about pricing models please  
share them with the board.

Nothing has been finalized yet.
