Don Thibeau The OpenID Foundation <http://openid.net/> Begin forwarded message: From: Don Thibeau <[email protected]> Subject: representing PayPal on the OpenID Foundation Board Date: August 17, 2015 at 8:08:02 AM EDT To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Lydia: Thank you for representing PayPal on the OpenID Foundation Board. Paypal has been a sustaining, board level member, since the early days of the foundation. The main work of the foundation, as a standards development organization, is found the work groups outline below. Earlier this year, the OpenID Foundation introduced self certification, the legal assurance of technical conformance to the OpenID Connect standard and its registration at the OIX registry. The Board believes self certification is an important building block in realizing the additional security and privacy protections enabled by the adoption of OpenID Connect. The Board plans to continue adding value to self certification by extending the OpenID Connect test suite to include relying party testing. This is important to Foundation as it accelerates the adoption of OpenID Connect by making available additional trust measures that ensure the quality control and assurance to identity providers and relying parties alike. The fall of 2015 provides time for these new tests to be tested by industry leaders like Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Ping Identity and others who share an interest in building a highly reliable, low cost, test suite available for all. The Executive Committee and Board plans to finalize self certification costs, pricing and other operational elements in advance of the planned launch of relying party self certification at RSA 2016. I will follow this with an updated board meeting schedule. I look forward to briefing you in further detail later this week.
