Register openid to the well-known URI scheme IANA registry

Issue #1112 open
Nat Sakimura created an issue

I heard some desire from SSI people at IIW that they want openid: to be registered to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemes IANA registry [1] according to RFC7595 [2]

    We agreed on the 10-Oct-19 call to do this, since there is increasing interested in the self-issued OP functionality from the self-sovereign identity crowd.

    I sent a registration directly to IANA because there has been no response to my request sent to the mailing list. IANA is tracking this in the thread “[IANA #1278861] AutoReply: Request for Assignment“.

    We received the following response from IANA. I plan to discuss this on today’s call.

    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,

    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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Frfc%2Frfc7595%23section-3&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cd178d07404e24b3cbd2008db9d11a826%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638276471382850489%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=72f4A6pOvt97sKNH0GuGWVEd7Q2jKTX992lRMIkE4X8%3D&reserved=0

    1. 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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iana.org%2Fassignments%2Fiesg-recognized-organizations%2Fiesg-recognized-organizations.xhtml&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cd178d07404e24b3cbd2008db9d11a826%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638276471382850489%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CeikLHSKk8Z%2FQFJH8uEimLfESkctx7WDLDGGfIoeXtA%3D&reserved=0 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.

    I requested provisional registration, based on the discussions on the 14-Aug-23 working group call.
