[OIDFSC] Native application SSO Working Group

Hmmm, maybe it has fallen out of my plate. I just looked at the charter
proposal from the proposers.
I do not see anything but
http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-specs-council/2013-July/000340.htmlin
the specs-council list and for that.

Maybe you are talking about
http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-specs-council/2013-July/000341.htmlon
Wed Jul 3 21:25:51 UTC 2013 that was posted by you, Mike?

The proposed change were:

   1. changed "in order to enable" to "to enable"
   2. capitalize the first letter of the bullet points;
   3. change id_token to ID Token;
   4. changed OIDC to OpenID Connect;
   5. changed "implementors" to "implementers" (BTW, neither "implementer"
   nor "implementor" exists in OED,  and I used to spell it "implementor". Is
   it a Canadian thing?)
   6. added "This specification will not make breaking changes to OpenID
   Connect 1.0." to "out of scope" section, which is unnecessary since this is
   a different working group than AB/Connect working group and has no power as
   to OpenID Connect 1.0 to start with;
   7. changed capitalizations such as "relying parties" to "Relying
   Parties", etc.
   8. changed "ie" to "i.e."
   9. changed "&" to "and"
   10. changed "And so" to "Thus"

They are all editorial.

I gathered that the scopes incorporating the comments were something that
is going to be approved on the first meeting of the Working Group. In fact,
that is the first agenda item of the working group as OpenID Process
Document mandates. If the changes proposed were technical in its nature, I
would have thought of otherwise, however, they were all editorial. Thus
resulted in my note.

Your late comment probably would be considered by the working group, but I
am not sure from the pure procedure point of view, you can actually block
it this way.

Best,

Nat
