Yes, we definitely need it (for IPR control reason).
I'd volunteer for an admin.

Will it be a google group?
For repository etc., I have setup one at bitbucket.org/openid/ax

        Hi all,

        In catching up on the specs mail I noticed that the specs
        council (myself included) had not made a recommendation about
        this proposal.  Under the newly approved IPR policy
        
<http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2010/01/OpenID_Process_Document_December_2009_Final_Approved.pdf>
        (relevant section quoted below), since the council had not
        made a recommendation within 15 days, the working group is
        automatically approved.

        *4.2  Review.*  The Specifications Council will review each
        proposal within 15 days after receipt and promptly provide
        notice to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> of its
        recommendation to either accept or reject it, together with a
        brief statement of the rationale for its recommendation
        (including any findings or opinions by the Specifications
        Council regarding the criteria for rejection in the following
        clauses (a)-(d). If a proposal is rejected, it may be modified
        and resubmitted.  The reasons for rejection will be limited to:

        *(a) *an incomplete Proposal (i.e., failure to comply with §4.1);

        *(b) *a determination that the proposal contravenes the OpenID
        community’s purpose;

        *(c) *a determination that the proposed WG does not have
        sufficient support to succeed or to deliver proposed
        deliverables within projected completion dates; or

        *(d) *a  determination that the proposal is likely to cause
        legal liability for the OIDF or others.

        If no recommendation was issued within 15 days after receipt,
        the Proposal is deemed to be accepted.

        Nat, I believe that the next steps for you to take are to
        create the working group mailing list and put members on the
        list once their signed contribution agreements
        
<http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2008/03/paper-contribution-agr-final-clean-20080107.pdf>
        for the working group have been received.

Best wishes,

                                                                    --
