on your response, it feels kinda soft in terms of large vendor commitment. If we
figure out how to get better collectively at marketing OpenID especially at
end-customers and why they need it, then we can get some acceleration in terms
of adoption. If you have specific names of folks at IBM then I would be
game to rally many of my industry peers to put some
pressure...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unlike blog sites and Internet startups, many
large enteprises have purchased Web Access Management products such as
Tivoli Access Manager, Netegrity Siteminder, etc where authentication
doesn't occur by embedding code into the application. Is anyone directly
working with any of the vendors in this space to promote
OpenID?</FONT></P><FONT
