Hi David,<br>
<br>
Even so you explained below reasonable, allow me a question:<br>
<br>
Why is there a need to have different policies for Authentication and
Attribute Exchange
and what would this practically mean? Specially this two drafts are
extremely important to OpenID in my opinion. What would be the
implications for implementers of this (current in draft)
specifications? Or does this only affect future contributers? Tanks
upfront for your clarification on this...<br>

- Once the policy is adopted, specification work will be broken up
into "working groups" based upon a topic. For example Authentication
and Attribute Exchange will most likely become two working groups
with each group having its own specs-<foo>@openid.net mailing list.
This is to allow for IPR promises from the larger companies which may
not wish to participate in every OpenID community effort. </pre>
