[Openid-specs-ab] Additional resources to the FAPI and Open Banking efforts?

[Mike Schwartz]

It was mentioned on the OIDF board minutes that additional resources are 
needed for FAPI and Open Banking efforts, including for certification.

Gluu can offer resources. We plan to have complete alignment with FAPI 
in version 3.2 of the Gluu Server, so we are writing our own internal 
tests anyway. Perhaps someone on the board can elaborate on what's 
needed? Perhaps others on this list might also pitch in?

The full snippet from the board is below for reference.

> 
> 2.       FAPI/Open Banking Developments
> The Open Banking standard is still incomplete.  FinTech labs is the
> certification contractor to OIBE.  Because there is no standard, each
> of the 9 banks is doing its own thing.  There is a planned OpenID/OIX
> workshop on Tuesday the 30th in London.  We will use this as a forcing
> function to create a dialog among many of the stakeholders.
