Hi Michael (ccing: uri-review@ietf.org),

Please see below for review from Graham Klyne.

Please let us if you would like to proceed with a provisional registration instead as well.

Best regards,

Referring to: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0-31.html#URISchemeRegistry

I would say that this is OK for provisional registration, but not yet for permanent registration.

Problems I’m seeing are:

1.  the reference provided in the registration template does not appear to provide a URI specification.  Among other things, I’m expecting there to be a syntax specification that can be checked for conformity with RFC3986 generic URI syntax.  Also there are other considerations mentioned at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7595#section-3

2. A permanent URI registration is usually expected to broadly meet the requirements for an IETF standard — the obvious way to do this is by publication as a standards track RFC.  Other possible routes (for permanent URI scheme registrations) are as an IETF track informational or experimental RFC, or alternatively as publication as a standard (or equivalent) by an organisation recognised in the IETF as a creator of open standards.

I  see at  https://www.iana.org/assignments/iesg-recognized-organizations/iesg-recognized-organizations.xhtml that OpenId Foundation are recognised in the IETF as a producer of standards.  So for a permanent registration I would be looking for an indication that the specification has passed through whatever consensus process that organisation uses for approving its publications as standards.
