Public Review Period for Proposed Final OpenID Connect for Identity Assurance Specifications

Published July 24, 2024
The OpenID Foundation’s eKYC & IDA Working Group recommends approval of the following specifications as OpenID Final Specifications.
A Final Specification provides intellectual property protections to implementers of the specification and is not subject to further revision. This note starts the 60-day public review period for the specification draft in accordance with the OpenID Foundation IPR policies and procedures. Unless issues are identified during the review that the working group believes must be addressed by revising the draft, this review period will be followed by a seven-day voting period during which OpenID Foundation members will vote on whether to approve this draft as an OpenID Final Specification. For the convenience of members, voting will actually begin a week before the start of the official voting period for members who have completed their reviews by then.

The relevant dates are:

  • Final Specification public review period: Wednesday, July 24, 2024 to Sunday, September 22, 2024 (60 days)
  • Final Specification vote announcement: Monday, September 9, 2024
  • Final Specification early voting opens: Monday, September 16, 2024 *
  • Final Specification voting period: Monday, September 23, 2024 to Monday, September 30, 2024 (7 days)*
* Note: Early voting before the start of the formal voting will be allowed.
