Sorry to say this Eran. I have researched all your posts on the OpenID Forums, plus your own work elsewhere. And will tell what I have concluded.<div><br></div><div>1) You disappeared from the OpenID forums since 2007, and never bothered to contribute anything for the better part of the last three years. So why are you back here right now?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) After reading up all the work you have done in the identity arena, you have been "FLIP FLOPPING" on your views all the time. You are so to speak "ALL OVER THE PLACE" when it comes to your views. I mean just read your own blogs!</div>

The question is:<br>
<br>
Is the OIDF interested in taking the lead in building an identity layer for OAuth 2.0?<br>
<br>
I'm willing to bet that if the answer is no, it will be the beginning of the end for OpenID. OAuth 2.0 + identity will fully cover the OpenID 2.0 use cases in a cleaner, more secure way.<br>
<br>
This is very much an issue of timing. If the problem is the name, call it the "OAuth Identity Framework", leaving OpenID to be whatever the v.next WG decides it will be a year or two from now.<br>
