Closing the inactive OpenID Connect mailing list

[Mike Jones]

The OpenID Connect mailing list has been inactive about a year, with its intended work being replaced by the OpenID Connect<http://openid.net/connect/> specs that have been developed by members of the OpenID Specs AB list<http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs-ab> and are now undergoing review as proposed Implementer's Drafts<http://openid.net/2011/12/23/review-of-proposed-openid-connect-implementer%e2%80%99s-drafts/>.  In effect, the AB working group has become the Connect working group in practice, especially after the OpenID Board's decision to brand the resulting specs "OpenID Connect"<http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-board/2011-June/005180.html>.

This note is being sent to inform the membership of this list of the OpenID Board's decision to request closure of inactive working groups<http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-board/2011-February/005120.html> to avoid having the existence of these inactive working groups confuse people.  Unless a majority of the working group membership believes that the Connect mailing list needs to remain in existence, this list will be retired in two weeks.

                                                -- Mike (for the OpenID Board)
