The one question I have about this collaboration announcement why Cordance, NetMesh and other companies who have made major contributions and have critical stakes in the OpenID community were not listed in the announcement. I know it was pulled together very quickly but I think the contributions of those two companies have been extensive and deserved mention (and yes! they do have 'code').

There was no mention LiveJournal or of SixAppart or Brad Fitzpatrick the originator of OpenID.

I hope that in the future we can work to be more inclusive and uplift all the main contributors to these efforts.
