[step2] OpenID UI Extension - Draft 0.1 (formerly known as the Popup Extension)

[Nat Sakimura]

Yes. I am personally OK for not having any vote but we MUST have the
IPR agreements in place. Otherwise, people would not be able to use
the resulting spec.

Actually, having the members to vote for the creation of WG is an
overkill, IMHO.
It should just be doing at the specs approval stage instead, but
currently, this
heavy weight process is what we have, unfortunately.

What is the sentiment of the community on skipping the initial membership vote?
I personally think it suffices to prohibit WGs having "OpenID" in its
name at the
time of creation and allow the TM usages only after it was ratified as
a standard.
