<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0-43.html">Draft 43 of the OpenID Federation specification</a> has been published. A number of features in <a href="https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0-42.html">draft
42</a> were discussed during the recent <a href="https://self-issued.info/?p=2697">OpenID Federation interop event</a> and the changes made in draft 43 are largely a result of conclusions reached there and resulting discussions that followed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Before the interop, there were 40 open issues. As a result of the progress made at SUNET, and the ongoing engagement of interop participants since then, we’re now down to 17 <a href="https://github.com/openid/federation/issues">open
issues</a>. And 9 of those propose extension specifications, post-final work, or reviewing the text.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The changes made in -43 are detailed in the <a href="https://openid.net/specs/openid-federation-1_0-43.html#name-document-history">Document History</a> section.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks all for the significant progress towards finishing the specification!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
