color:#1F497D'>Another item that I forgot to put on the list, we could
certainly benefit from a concerted community-wide effort to identify and reach
out to potentially receptive prospective RPs, especially mainstream highly
visible sites. As some of you may know, we created <a
href="http://demand.openid.net/">http://demand.openid.net/</a> to let OpenID
users vote for what sites you’d like to see OpenID-enabled. The
idea was that if we could create a groundswell of demand for the top requested
sites, we could use that data to encourage those sites to implement OpenID.
It got some initial interest and participation, but has died off lately. It’s
a bit difficult since it requires installing a bookmarklet in your browser then
remembering to use it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We can certainly continue to send emails to info@, support@,
webmaster@ but those usually don’t go anywhere. Personally, I’ve
been using my college and business networks along with LinkedIn, but that only
get us so far. But if the entire OpenID community could leverage our collective
networks, that could be meaningful. For example, it would be great to
have Wikipedia or Craigslist implement OpenID, but we need introductions into
the organizations. I’ve personally been advocating that we target “content
providers” – media companies (film, tv, radio, music, newspapers,
sports, etc.) and affinity groups (corp & academic alumni networks, clubs,
boy scouts, AARP, trade associations, etc.). BBC, 4-H, and AARP are
already members of the OIDF. These organizations should be more receptive
since they want to register lots of users/members and make it easy for them to
login, and longer term to possibly share social networking profile
information. Additionally, their primary focus isn’t purely commerce,
so we don’t have to have all the aspects of commerce worked out to be of
immediate value to them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>So if anyone on this list knows people at companies or
organizations that should be implementing OpenID, contact them. Let them
know about the OpenID Foundation and our website. Encourage them to join the
Foundation and/or a <a href="http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/">mailing list</a>
to monitor a topic of interest to them. If they’d like to discuss
joining the OpenID Foundation, have them contact any of the members of the
Membership committee: Dewitt Clinton, Gary Krall, David Recordon, or Brian
Kissel (me). If they want to participate in customer research, have them
contact Johannes Ernst, Raj Mata, Scott Kveton, or me. You can see who
the members of the various committees are at: <a

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>If they want to implement OpenID on their websites, point them
to the various open source libraries or service providers that help companies
with implementation. And yes, this is self-serving for JanRain since we
do both, but feel free to point them to any resources that you think can help
them. For OpenID to expand its relevance beyond tech savvy users and user
generated content applications, we need broader mainstream RP adoption. I’m
hopeful that as soon as an average person can think of a dozen or more sites
where they can use their OpenID, we’ll start to reach an inflection point
where users start to demand this kind of user experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This is just a summary from a more detailed report that Johannes
initiated with an outside market research firm named Market Focus. Market
Focus attended the Content Provider Advisory Committee meeting, then did a
series of one-on-one interviews with several of the participants as well as
other RPs, prospective RPs, and OPs. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
