(Moving this to the public list.)

You're right Brian, this is the sort of thing for the working groups to decide and the Foundation/Board to help facilitate from a process/ legal perspective. I'll reply to the thread on General@ explaining the working group process.

I think it's also worth another thread about the somewhat mythical "2.1" spec which I'll start on the Specs@ list, driving the community to make a decision on if we want 2.1 to really be a small "maintenance" spec or continue waiting for things like discovery (see http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2009-June/002886.html) to shake out.

FYI, I don't think it's in our charter for the board to make decisions on these kinds of things, it's for the individual working groups and spec committees, correct? The OIDF and board can facilitate the process, but don't think we've historically defined a technology specification roadmap, correct?

Cheers,

Brian

I would like to hear an answer to this post from the OpenID foundation
board.

If that is not possible the foundation must officially announce whether
Email like identifiers will be in the Core Spec of 2.1.

This will greatly help people decide, how and on what to spend their time and effort, and will also ensure that their time and effort does not go to
waste.

I also see an urgency in this matter because ideally I would like to see 2.1 come out soon because there will be Wave servers being released by the last quarter of the year. If we can have 2.1 before that we will be in a
position to offer OpenID as an alternative. Otherwise I am sure XMPP
authentication will grow into a Federated authentication.

Here is a link to show the latest plans of Google Wave.
