>>
>>
>> Working Group Name:
>> OpenID OAuth Hybrid Working Group
>>
>>
>> Purpose:
>> Produce a standard OpenID extension to the OpenID Authentication protocol
>> that provides a mechanism to embed an OAuth approval request into an OpenID
>> authentication request to permit combined user approval. The extension
>> addresses the use case where the OpenID Provider and OAuth Service Provider
>> are the same service. To provide good user experience, it is important to
>> present a combined authentication and authorization screen for the two
>> protocols.
>>
>>
>> Scope:
>> Standardize the draft Hybrid Protocol (
>> http://step2.googlecode.com/svn/spec/openid_oauth_extension/drafts/0/openid_oauth_extension.html)
>> as an official OpenID Extension describing how to combine an OpenID
>> authentication request with the approval of an OAuth request token.
>>
>>
>> Anticipated Contributions:
>> Draft specification referenced above and various text contributions as
>> more developers implement it.
>>
>>
>> Proposed List of Specifications:
>> OpenID OAuth Extension 1.0. Spec completion by Q4 2008.
>>
>>
>> Anticipated audience or users of the work:
>>  - OpenID Providers and Relying Parties
>>  - OAuth Consumers and Service Providers
>>  - Implementers of OpenID Providers and Relying Parties
>>
>>
>> Language in which the WG will conduct business:
>> English.
>>
>>
>> Method of work:
>> E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list and working group
>> conference calls.
>>
>>
>> Basis for determining when the work of the WG is completed:
>> The work will be completed once it is apparent that maximal consensus on
>> the protocol proposal has been achieved within the working group, consistent
>> with the purpose and scope.
