At the latest OpenID board meeting, I took the action item to have the
specifications close down inactive working groups. This is to help eliminate
confusion among the members about where work is occurring and focus people's
efforts on the active working groups.
Per section 4.4 of the OpenID
+1 as long as we are clear Connect is just merging with AB, and the final name
or version is TBA.

The one concern I'd have (as usual) is with branding. If Connect is 'merging
into A/B, I presume that there won't be a WG with Connect in the name
anymore. This may not be appear to be a big deal, but I do think that the
OpenID Connect brand could still have some mojo,
We do plan to continue our legal review of OpenID brands and trademark
protections. Phase 1 was completed last year with an inventory of issues and
resolution to many nagging issues. Phase Two in 2001 targets outstanding
topics that includes extended brand protections like OpenID Connect.

+1 for closing the 6 working groups listed in Mike's post.
While we're doing spec housecleaning, we should also try to finalize the
OpenID/OAuth Hybrid and OpenID UI Extensions. AFAIK, there has been no
changes to either of these specs for about a year,
