This was discussed briefly by the Board yesterday during our meeting and we plan to take a look at the IPR Process in a holistic perspective, looking at the changes that can be made to address how hard it is to get started.

Hey Brett,
There is a 14-day discussion period once the Specs Council has approved the WG which occurs on the [email protected] <mailto:[email protected] > mailing list. There was also a discussion on the same list leading up to the Specs Council vote on the proposal. I think everyone agrees that there are other user interface improvements to be made, though pop-ups are a good starting point. I think we should address this once the working group is created and see if there is consensus there to rename the specification being produced.

Once again I find myself wondering why there is a vote to create a working group. This is especially perplexing in this case where you seem to be suggesting that after the group is formed it might decide to change its scope.

Why can't we just let working groups be created and do their work and then do the vote on the finished specification itself rather than on the plan to create one?

All the current setup seems to achieve is that folks do most of the work in other forums like the "step2" mailing list where the OpenID community can't necessarily see it, and then they just go through the motions to create the working group after most of the work has already been done. This seems counter-productive.
