<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Per the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures, this note formally proposes the formation of a new OpenID working group. The charter and background information for
the proposed group are as follows.<br>
<br>
<b>(a) <i><u>Charter</u></i>.<br>
(i)</b> <b>WG name:</b> OpenID v.Next Discovery.<br>
<b>(ii)</b> <b>Purpose:</b> Produce a discovery specification or family of discovery specifications for OpenID v.Next that address the limitations and drawbacks present in the OpenID 2.0 discovery facilities that limit OpenID’s applicability, adoption,
usability, privacy, and security. Specific goals are:<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery for and normalization of OpenID identifiers, including those utilizing
e-mail address syntax and those that are URLs,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery of features supported by OpenID v.Next OpenID Providers and Relying
Parties,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery of attributes about OpenID v.Next OPs and RPs, including, but not
limited to visual logos and human-readable site names,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery supporting a spectrum of clients, including passive clients per current
usage, thin active clients, and active clients with OP functionality,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery supporting authentication to and use of attributes by non-browser
applications,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable discovery of public keys,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">enable potential mechanisms for discovering context-relevant OpenID providers,<br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol">· </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">seamlessly integrate with and complement the other OpenID v.Next specifications.<br>
<br>
Compatibility with OpenID 2.0 is an explicit non-goal for this work.<br>
<b>(iii)</b> <b>Scope:</b> Produce a next generation OpenID discovery specification or specifications, consistent with the purpose statement.<br>
<b>(iv)</b> <b>Proposed List of Specifications</b>: OpenID v.Next Discovery and possibly related specifications.<br>
<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.<br>
<b>(vi)</b> <b>Language in which the WG will conduct business</b>: English.<br>
<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.<br>
<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.<br>
<b>(b) <i><u>Background Information</u></i>.<br>
(i)</b> <b>Related work being done in other WGs or organizations</b>: OpenID Authentication 2.0 and related specifications, including Yadis 1.0. OAuth and OAuth 2.0. XRDS, XRD, host-meta, Web Linking, XAuth, LRDD, and WebFinger.<br>
