there is already one network of
IdPs that is defining their own operational requirements for OpenID:
the XDI.org-Accredited
I-Broker network (<a href="http://www.inames.net/register.html">http://www.inames.net/register.html</a>)
that are using the XDI.org I-Service Specification for OpenID (<a

Well, after reading various documentations it seems to me, that xdi.org
is very interesting, but everything else than free and open. So this
was certainly to be expected, but my idea of an "OpenID Foundation"
would be somewhat different. Less of a business model and more of a
"Foundation" type...Also considering the opposition to SSL secured IDP
sites, than xdi.org is certainly out of reach for most of these
semi-professional providers, which most likely will exist in the
interim...

“could” because no one has proven
yet that this model will extend to identity services. However it
certainly fits
the model you’re describing.</span></font></p>
