Request for consideration of Working Group Charter Proposal
I would like to submit the following proposal for a new Working Group charter to your consideration, following the OpenID IPR process: The proposal charter is also available at: http://wiki.openid.net/Working_Groups:AX_2.0 OpenID Attribute Exchange 2.0 Working Group (AX 2.0) Charter Proposal In accordance with the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures this note proposes the formation of a new working group chartered to produce an OpenID specification. As per Section 4.1 of the Policies, the proposed charter is below (still liable to change during this feedback period). I. Name Attribute Exchange Extension Working Group (AX) II. Statement of Purpose Produce an updated version of the Attribute Exchange Extension. III. Scope Update the Attribute Exchange Extension to include support for identified needs. Currently identified needs: * Provide mechanisms for RP to require, and the OP to assert, claims about the quality of the attributes. * Create an extensible registry of claim types, such as axschema.org for attribute types. The registry should also provide non-normative guidance on how claims can be validated, which will depend on the nature of attribute type as well as claim type. * Introduce a new request/response mode which, unlike fetch and store, allows for both transmittal of some values and request of others. The transmittal not necessarily has the significance of a store request (could be informative, or for requesting validation). * Introduce a direct communication method in both directions (OP-RP), supported via discovery, for bulk exchange of attributes about (potentially) multiple users. IV. Specifications OpenID Attribute Exchange 2.0 V. Anticipated audience All those interested in the obtaining attributes about users authenticated via OpenID. VI. Language of business English. VII. Method of work Mailing list discussion. Posting of intermediate drafts in the OpenID Wiki. Virtual conferencing on an ad-hoc basis. VIII. Basis for completion of the activity The Attribute Exchange 2.0 spec final draft is delivered and the form of management and maintenance of the registry is established. Background Information I. Related Work Attribute Exchange (1.0), and Simple Registration. II. Initial Membership * Tom Allen, a...@yahoo-inc.com. Yahoo!
