Hi Tony,

Drummond just alerted me to this issue.  I just wanted to reiterate that we 
have been entirely rigorous about using the acronym 'OIDF' when referring to 
the OpenID Foundation.  

How are you?  It would be nice to catch up.  Will you be around next month at 
IIW at all?

cheers,
-bill

FYI - Tony Rutkowski sent the message below to the ID Gang list advising us
not to use the acronym "OID" when referring to the OpenID Foundation. He
seemed fine with OIDF, which is what I use.

Hi all,

I understand that someone is unwittingly doing this.

Bad choice.

OID for the past 20 year refers to "Object ID" - the
"other' domain name infrastructure developed by
the Open Systems Interconnection world 25 years
ago, and used today as the primary global namespace
of digital certificates, SNMP, RFIDs (as of last week),
and various other uses.
