with OpenID 2.0 is an explicit non-goal for this work.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(iii)</b> <b>Scope:</b>
Produce a next generation OpenID discovery specification or specifications,
consistent with the purpose statement.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(iv)</b> <b>Proposed
List of Specifications</b>: OpenID v.Next Discovery and possibly related
specifications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(v)</b> <b>Anticipated
audience or users of the work:</b> Implementers of OpenID Providers,
Relying Parties, Active Clients, and non-browser applications utilizing OpenID.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(vi)</b> <b>Language
in which the WG will conduct business</b>: English.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(vii)</b> <b>Method
of work: </b>E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list,
working group conference calls, and face-to-face meetings at the Internet
Identity Workshop and OpenID summits.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><b>(viii)</b> <b>Basis for
determining when the work of the WG is completed:</b> Work will not be
deemed to be complete until there is a consensus that the resulting protocol
specification or family of specifications fulfills the working group
goals. Additional proposed changes beyond that initial consensus will be
evaluated on the basis of whether they increase or decrease consensus within
the working group. The work will be completed once it is apparent that
maximal consensus on the draft has been achieved, consistent with the purpose
and scope.</p>
