I would like to submit the following proposal for a working group
charter (also available at
http://wiki.openid.net/Working_Groups:Discovery):
Services and Metadata Discovery Coordination Working Group (Discovery)
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
Services and Metadata Discovery Coordination Working Group (Discovery)
II. Statement of Purpose
Produce a document describing the OpenID discovery workflow, updating
the current mechanism to describe how to use OASIS specifications for
discovery, to be drafted by the OASIS XRI TC. The intention is that
the document will be incorporated as part of some future version of
the OpenID Authentication spec.
III. Scope
Produce a document describing the use of OASIS discovery
specifications as formulated by the OASIS XRI TC, for normative
application by all other OpenID specifications. Produce a document
describing the recommended migration of services discovery from the
Yadis 1.0 specification to the discovery specifications currently
being developed by the OASIS XRI TC. All types of identifiers
addressed by OASIS XRI TC discovery (XRD 1.0) are within scope of this
WG. Publish a list of service and resource types supported by the
discovery mechanism.
IV. Specifications
OpenID Discovery, including a sub-spec for Trusted OpenID Discovery,
and a best-practices guidance document for migration.
V. Anticipated audience
All those interested in the OpenID specifications.
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 discovery document is final and all deliverables have been
incorporated into the OpenID Authentication spec, perhaps by
reference.
