The OpenID OpenID Connect Working Group recommends approval of the following specification as an OpenID Implementer’s Draft:

• OpenID Connect Federation 1.0

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 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 Implementer’s Draft. For the convenience of members, voting will actually begin a week before the start of the official voting period. The relevant dates are:

• Implementer's Draft public review period: Friday, June 8, 2018 to Monday, July 23, 2018 (45 days)
• Implementer's Draft vote announcement: Tuesday, July 10, 2018
• Implementer's Draft voting period: Tuesday, July 17, 2018 to Tuesday, July 31, 2018 (7 days)*

* Note: Early voting before the start of the formal voting will be allowed. The OpenID Connect working group page is http://openid.net/wg/connect/. Information on joining the OpenID Foundation can be found at https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration. If you’re not a current OpenID Foundation member, please consider joining to participate in the approval vote.
