The OAuth meeting to begin work on standardizing OAuth within the IETF will 
begin March 23rd at the IETF meeting in San Francisco.

I am going to say something that will probably get me in trouble with some 
folks at the IETF. There is a $635 fee to attend the event (which is weeklong 
with many other meetings), $785 if paid after Friday. This makes no sense to 
those of you who only care about this 2 hours session.

If you work for a company that can afford to pay this fee, and many of you do, 
please have them pay it. This money goes to fund the important work done by the 
IETF, like paying the RFC editors and for the event itself. There are many 
other good reasons to come to the event: a meeting of the HTTPbis working group 
to talk about the new edition of HTTP 1.1, vCard/vCardDav meeting about work 
related to Portable Contacts, GeoPriv about privacy policies for geo location 
information, and the Application area meeting (in which I will talk a bit about 
discovery).

But, if you can't afford to pay the fee, and have been involved in OAuth, 
contributed, and helped make it a success, just come. There is not likely to be 
anyone stopping you at the door. But please do respect the event and the 
community behind it. It is probably ok to show up unregistered to one session. 
But it is not ok to do more without paying.
