Discovery and Simple Client Registration specs
                John published these this afternoon
                He needs to go over the specs to confirm that the term usage is consistent
                Mike asked whether the comma separated lists should be space separated instead
                George asked whether they should be JSON arrays
                We agreed to make that change
                Add openid_version string to provider configuration response
                                Version string will be "3.0"
                John asked whether the response should contain the issuer
                                We thought yes
                George asked whether the openid-configuration needs to be in .well-known, as adding these can be hard
                                We decided to publish this with .well-known/openid-configuration, since that was the WG consensus
                Change http://openid.net/specs/cc/1.0/issuer to http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer
                Change eaa to iso_29115
                Change list of return_to URIs to a JSON array
                We asked Nat to look at internationalization for the simple client registration spec
                John will change the registration request to a JSON object
                Delete "to be" after "application_name"
                Change example to a different endpoint - maybe including "/register"
                                And make examples consistent with discovery spec as well
                Mike will post docs as-is, John will produce updated versions

Incorporating http binding into core/framework
                Mike won't start this until after an encryption draft is done

Consistency pass
                We should all do a consistency pass over the specs before Thursday's call

Contacting developers
                After John's specs are posted and edited as above, it's time to contact friendly developers

Declaring implementers drafts
                We won't declare formal implementers drafts until implementers have beat on the specs a bit

Encryption
                Mike is working on a draft to begin receiving expert review feedback

IETF meeting
                We should have a face-to-face meeting in Quebec City

Spec primer
                We need a primer/overview on the set of specs
                                Saying what order to read specs, what relationships between them are
                Start with Core, UserInfo, Framework, then HTTP Redirect
                                Soon Discovery and Simple Client Registration as well

Next call
                The next call will be on Thursday (US) / Friday (Japan) at the regular time
