Looks good! Covers the attribute use cases from my earlier list:)

Hi guys, thanks for your feedback, here is an updated proposal for
forming the v.Next Attributes working group, which I now consider
a formal request. Thanks again to Mike Jones for collecting the
feedback and updating the charter text! js
*(a)** /_Charter_/.*
*(i)* *WG name:* OpenID v.Next Attributes
*(ii)* *Purpose:* Produce attribute transmission and schema
specifications for OpenID v.Next that address the limitations and
drawbacks present in the OpenID 2.0 attribute facilities that
limit OpenID’s applicability, adoption, usability, and
interoperability. Sharing basic data about the user has become a
common enough requirement that OpenID needs to take a more
hands-on role in specifying common fields and also more
tightly/actively working on how to propose and accept new standard
fields going forward. Specific goals are:
· define how to ask for and get rich, consistent, common and
extensible data attributes,
· define schemas for common attributes,
· define a mechanism and process for using attributes not in this
common set,
· enable user control over what attributes are released,
· enable aggregation of attributes from multiple attribute sources,
· enable attribute sources to provide verified attributes,
· enable the sources of attributes to be verified,
· enable the use of attributes by non-browser applications
· enable the use of attributes both with and without employing an
active client,
· 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 attribute
specification or specifications, consistent with the purpose
statement.
*(iv)* *Proposed List of Specifications*: OpenID v.Next Attribute
Transmission and Attribute Schema specifications 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) and Simple Registration (SReg). ICF
Schemas working group. Portable Contacts. Other OpenID v.Next
working groups and the OpenID Connect working group.
