>> I'm not seeing much difference from your list to the charter that was
submitted
Allen's wiki page provides pointers to specific technical work being done to
meet those requirements, as well as identifying work that is not yet being
done.  As you noted, though, the business requirements for a future version
of OpenID have been mostly unchanged since the Fall 2009 IIW discussions.

In his message he noted that we still need more people to "get
involved in flushing
out the technical details."  Only a few people like Nat Sakimura have really
been active in those details the last few weeks.  We are hoping that if the
community sees more consensus on technical direction, it will attract more
technical contributors.

Any chance we could recruit Yaron to get involved in spec work?  We are
really short of people to actually work on specs in the next few months
because of vacations, and the other tasks people are working on.  The
adhocauthentication uses the same "OpenID on top of OAuth2" approach
described in the OpenIDConnect proposal.  However that article and the
simplewebfinger article go into more detail on discovery which is an area
where we always seems to have trouble recruiting spec developers.  We tend
to rely on Eran Hammer-Lahav to drive most of that work on his own.

Since Yaron's contributions to the sessions on OAuth in the spring 2009 IIW
we're so crucial in kicking off the WRAP, and then OAuth2 discussions, and
now the OpenIDConnect discussions, he would be a great person to have
helping us.
