<br><br><div><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><div>What follows is a draft charter for the OpenID Certification working group. Feedback is welcome, as are potential working group participants. There is also a draft of some specific <a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=ajkhp5hpp3tt_72gtng7zff" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204); ">certification check lists</a> that I hope will spawn feedback.</div>

(i) WG name: OpenID Certification</blockquote><blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">
(ii) Purpose: Produce certification checklists for the use of OpenID in different use-cases so that neutral certification bodies such as OIX can validate IDPs against them as opposed to requiring each RP to individual perform such an analysis of each potential IDP. Specific goals are:</blockquote>
<ul><ul><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">Define the checklist for at least one use-case</li><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">Have at least one IDP certified against that checklist by a certification body</li><li style="margin-left: 15px; ">
Have at least one RP who will dynamically support the published list of IDP(s) that have been certified</li></ul></ul><blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">
(iii) Scope: Produce a list of certification use-cases, and checklists for them. We expect this work will identify the need for additional enhancements to the technical standards, but in general this WG will not directly develop those standards, but will coordinate with other OpenID WGs to define the necessary standards.</blockquote>

(v) Anticipated audience or users of the work: Implementers of OpenID Providers, Relying Parties, and certification bodies.</blockquote><blockquote style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 40px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">
(vi) Language in which the WG will conduct business: English.<br>(vii) Method of work: 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.</blockquote>

(viii) Basis for determining when the work of the WG is completed: Work will not be deemed to be complete until there is a consensus that the resulting set of use-caess (and checklists) are sufficient to meet the market needs for OpenID certification. Additional proposed use-cases behond the initial list are expected.</blockquote>
