Yes, this is something that I'm hoping Don will be able to drive to completion over the next few months. We have the needed skeleton of a plan, but need the time to get the work done.

This is something that we must address, and has been on our radar.

We largely need to develop a reasonable trademark policy, similar to Jabber's perhaps, the affords productive and non-misleading uses of the mark without imperiling the integrity of things are OFFICIALLY sanctioned or sponsored by the OIDF.

Thanks for raising this issue again.

If you could provide us with specific examples off-list where you're seeing confusing portrayals of the relationship between OpenID or OIDF and third-parties, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

In a bunch of places I see people thinking that openid.org is somehow the "main", "default", "primary" or only OpenID provider.

Clearly this is what the OpenID trademark is supposed to protect the OpenID brand against.

What can be done about this?
