I'm a little confused; I'm not seeing much difference from your list to the 
charter that was submitted 
http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-specs-council/2010-May/000272.html so 
not sure what this list represents, can you give us some background as I did 
not see these discussions going on while the charter was being discussed.

Maybe a simpler approach is to start fresh on OAuth for authentication 
http://www.goland.org/adhocauthentication/ and discovery

Subject: Requirements discussion of OpenID Future

Hi All,

There¹s been a lot of discussion the past few weeks around specific technical 
proposals focused on moving OpenID forward. We wanted to take a step back and 
make sure that we understand the problems that there are broad consensus around 
solving over the next six to nine months. While there has also been some 
discussion around use cases and charters, there hasn¹t yet been broad consensus.

Today Yahoo!, Google, and Facebook met with some of the authors of Artifact 
Binding, the OpenID Connect proposal, and OAuth 2.0 to discuss our specific 
future requirements.  We put together a summary document of 20+ items that we 
would like to see and wanted to start a discussion around them.  Today helped 
to verify our instinct that we could achieve these OpenID goals by layering 
features on top of OAuth 2.0 while specifically maintaining the decentralized 
nature of OpenID.

After this discussion it seems that the Connect work group charter can 
encompass this work and thus provides a mailing list and IPR policy to work on 
these items. Facebook, Google, and Yahoo! expect to be able to sign the 
contributor agreements for the OpenID Connect working group relatively soon.

We hope that other OpenID community members and organizations will provide 
feedback on how this list compares to their needs and/or get involved in 
flushing out the technical details.

Here's the list of features that we would like to see implemented in a future 
version of OpenID:

Feedback and discussion is more than welcome!

Allen
