[Openid-specs-ab] Roland Hedberg's federation specification

[Mike Schwartz]

Roland,

Thanks for your feedback.

Of the 60+ people you spoke with, how many have time to participate not 
only in this effort, but to also attend to OpenID Connect general 
issues, which will normally arise?

I'm glad you are taking this now to a larger audience. I just think that 
the topic is substantive enough to warrant a seperate group at OIDF so 
we can have a more targeted discussion.

The OTTO partiicpant roster is here:
http://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/OTTO/Participant+roster?src=contextnavchildmode

None of these members (except maybe Rainer, because he's everywhere!) 
currently would be likely to participate in the main OpenID Connect 
group.

BTW, the currenting OTTO proposal is here:
   
https://github.com/KantaraInitiative/wg-otto/blob/master/docs/proposal/proposal.md

Per our discussion, the idea is that we're defining endpoints, entities 
and an extension mechanism for the creation and management of 
multi-party federations--including inter-federation support and advanced 
querying.

We're looking forward to the completion of the work you've undertaken. 
For example, a profile of the software statement would be a great use 
case for OTTO.
