This is an update to the OIDF planning for the testing and potential launch of 
OpenID Connect.
Thanks for the labor of the OpenID Connect Work Group and particularly the 
recent contributions from Salesforce.Com, Google and Facebook to help refine 
and edit the latest specifications. 
Thanks to the JanRain team and Kick Willemse for drafting protocols, 
milestones, etc for a rigorous, international testing plan and high quality 
launch consistent with Board resolutions at IIW. 
Thanks to Allen Tom for coming out of "retirement" to provide technical 
assistance and project leadership for planning the next steps for OpenID 
Connect.

Interested Board members are welcome to join Allen Tom and me at a meeting in 
person to detail his contribution and iterate on the latest draft of the OpenID 
Connect Launch Plan in Mountain View Meeting 11:00 am to 1:00pm PST June 16. 
Our objective is a 30/60/90 day plan to complement the WG efforts and scope 
potential directed funding options for testing and launch activities. 
We will use Kick's meme below as a starting point.

> -          Recognize three phases of openidconnect rollout (Review, Create, 
> Rely)
> -          Define success of review phase
> -          Included the tier organizations from the OIDF minutes
> -          Marketing milestones
> -          Estimated budget

Again, much work remains to be done to meet the tiered priorities set out by 
the board and the spirit of "if we do this, lets do it right."
So now is a great time to contribute to the WG technical specs and planning for 
the testing and potential launch of OpenID Connect
