<p class=MsoNormal>Speaking of adopting banks, etc it’s not obvious
that any ISC2 prominent members recognize openid as being “valuable”
to that security professional group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The openid Marketing group might want to rectify that. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Before anyone asks : NO! I have zero influence over ISC2…
They assuredly would not accept judgement of value that originates from me!
They might accept material originated by a committee chair or officer of the Openid
Board, however, once proper credentials are verified. If they don’t, that
fact would be telling, worth establishing, and worth fixing.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We should remember that some very large (friendly) corporations
spent a lot of effort in mindshare marketing characterizing openid technology
as : (1) that to be used only for protection of those assets with no particular
value (2) a technology that does not meet the industry-definition of a single-signon
scheme. This general marketing *<b>may</b>* explain the perceived absence of
any value in making even a single professional references to (the many) openid
online resources.<o:p></o:p></p>
