The OpenID Foundation’s FAPI Working Group recommends approval of the following specifications as OpenID Final Specifications.

• FAPI 2.0 Security Profile
  • Other formats:  XML, MD
• FAPI 2.0 Attacker Model
  • Other formats:  XML, MD

A Final Specification provides intellectual property protections to implementers of the specification and is not subject to further revision. This note starts the 60-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 Final Specification. For the convenience of members, voting will actually begin a week before the start of the official voting period for members who have completed their reviews by then.

The relevant dates are:

• Final Specification public review period: Monday, December 9, 2024 to Friday, February 7, 2025 (60 days)
• Final Specification vote announcement: Saturday, January 25, 2025
• Final Specification early voting opens: Saturday, February 1, 2025 *
• Final Specification voting period: Saturday, February 8, 2024 to Saturday, February 15, 2025 (7 days)*

* Note: Early voting before the start of the formal voting will be allowed.
