And I agree with you. My view is that in the absence of an OpenID discovery WG there will be _more_ uncertainty about future directions for the spec, not less.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 2:13 PM, David Fuelling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sappenin@gmail.com">sappenin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

If we start the process to form a WG for discovery now, most likely the process would only be completed in 6 months, even if there was considerable agreement and stable technologies to draw from.<br><br>Right now, there is quite a bit of momentum and excitement about Webfinger. The XRI TC is hoping to publish draft specs for XRD withing the next 30 days. Concurrently, and in particular after that, it is hoped that progress on webfinger will be speedy. Webfinger spec discussion may take place at either XRI TC or IETF.<br>

<br>I guess my opinion is that this work needs to happen in both places, so why not start it here as well.<br><br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Should we just start responding to all threads about OpenID 2.x discovery by saying that the discussion is taking place at some other mailing list?</blockquote></div><div><br>Last point to reiterate: There are a lot of Discovery issues besides email addresses and XRD. See the wiki for more.<br>
