Public Review Period for Three Shared Signals Drafts

Published June 27, 2024

The OpenID Shared Signals Working Group recommends approval of the following three specifications as OpenID Implementer’s Drafts:

An Implementer’s Draft is a stable version of a specification providing intellectual property protections to implementers of the specification. This note starts the 45-day public review period for the specification drafts 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 drafts, this review period will be followed by a seven-day voting period during which OpenID Foundation members will vote on whether to approve these drafts as OpenID Implementer’s Drafts. For the convenience of members who have completed their reviews by then, voting will actually begin a week before the start of the official voting period. The relevant dates are:

  • Implementer’s Draft public review period: Thursday, June 27, 2024 to Sunday, August 11, 2024 (45 days)
  • Implementer’s Draft vote announcement: Monday, July 29, 2024
  • Implementer's Draft early voting opens: Monday, August 5, 2024 *
  • Implementer’s Draft voting period: Monday, August 12, 2024 to Monday, August 19, 2024 (7 days)*

* Note: Early voting before the start of the formal voting will be allowed. The Shared Signals work group page is https://openid.net/wg/sharedsignals.
