Some questions

> enable aggregation of attributes from multiple verifiable sources
Not sure that this should be limited to verifiable sources as verification can 
be done later

> enable support for controlled release of attributes,
>From the IdP or User ?

> define an extension mechanism
For what?

> complement OAuth 2.0
Does this mean work well, integrate, allow OpenID attributes to be used in 
OAuth flow?

Subject: OpenID v.Next Core Protocol Charter

At IIW yesterday I held a session on bashing the OpenID v.Nest Core Protocol 
Charter. Below is the current draft. Comments and/or questions welcome. Anyone 
interested in being a fellow proposer please let me know and I will add you.
-- Dick
(a)  Charter.
(i)      WG name:  OpenID v.Next Core Protocol.
(ii)     Purpose:  Produce a core protocol specification or family of 
specifications for OpenID v.Next that address the limitations and drawbacks 
present in the OpenID 2.0 that limit OpenID's applicability, adoption, 
usability, privacy, and security.  Specific goals are:

*       define message flows and verification methods,

*       enable support for controlled release of attributes,

*       enable aggregation of attributes from multiple verifiable sources,

*       enable support for a spectrum of clients, including passive clients per 
current usage, thin active clients, and active clients with OP functionality,

*       enable authentication to and use of attributes by non-browser 
applications,

*       enable the use of public key technology to enhance scalability and 
performance,

*       enable optimized protocol flows combining authentication, attribute 
release, and resource authorization,

*       define profiles and support features intended to enable OpenID to be 
used at levels of assurance higher than NIST SP800-63 v2 level 1 ,

*       define an extension mechanism

*       ensure the use of OpenID on mobile devices,

*       ensure the use of OpenID on existing browsers with URL length 
restrictions,

*       complement OAuth 2.0

*       minimize migration effort from OpenID 2.0

*       seamlessly integrate with and complement the other OpenID v.Next 
specifications.
         Compatibility with OpenID 2.0 is an explicit non-goal for this work.
(iii)    Scope:  Produce a next generation OpenID core protocol specification 
or specifications, consistent with the purpose statement.
(iv)    Proposed List of Specifications:  OpenID v.Next Core Protocol and 
possibly related specifications.
(v)     Anticipated audience or users of the work:  Implementers of OpenID 
Providers, Relying Parties, Active Clients, and non-browser applications 
utilizing OpenID.
(vi)    Language in which the WG will conduct business:  English.
(vii)   Method of work:  E-mail discussions on the working group mailing list, 
working group conference calls, and face-to-face meetings at the Internet 
Identity Workshop and OpenID summits.
(viii)  Basis for determining when the work of the WG is completed:  Work will 
not be deemed to be complete until there is a consensus that the resulting 
protocol specification or family of specifications fulfills the working group 
goals.  Additional proposed changes beyond that initial consensus will be 
evaluated on the basis of whether they increase or decrease consensus within 
the working group.  The work will be completed once it is apparent that maximal 
consensus on the draft has been achieved, consistent with the purpose and scope.
(b)  Background Information.
(i)      Related work being done in other WGs or organizations:  OpenID 
Authentication 2.0 and related specifications, including Attribute Exchange 
(AX), Contract Exchange (CX), Provider Authentication Policy Extension (PAPE), 
and the draft User Interface (UI) Extension.  OAuth, OAuth WRAP, and OAuth 2.0. 
 OpenID Connect proposal. SAML 2.0 Core and SAML Authn Context.
