Public Review Period for Proposed Three Shared Signals Final Specifications
Published June 11, 2025
The OpenID Shared Signals Working Group recommends approval of the following three specifications as OpenID Final Specifications:
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 14-day voting period during which OpenID Foundation members will vote on whether to approve these drafts as OpenID Final Specifications.
The relevant dates are:
- Final Specification public review period: Wednesday, June 11, 2025, to Sunday, August 10, 2025 (60 days)
- Final Specification vote announcement: Monday, July 28, 2025 (14 days)
- Final Specification official voting period: Monday, August 11, 2025, to Monday, August 25, 2025 (14 days)

Marie Jordan – OpenID Foundation Board Secretary
On July 30th, the following changes were published. It incorporates feedback received during the review period, described below:
OpenID Shared Signals Framework Specification - draft 05
OpenID Continuous Access Evaluation Profile 1.0 - draft 05
OpenID RISC Profile Specification 1.0 - draft 03
As discussed during the SSWG meeting on 07/22/2025, these updated drafts with non-normative changes shall be considered for voting, instead of the ones that are currently in public review, and that these do not require a reset of the 60-day public review period.
This will be a consensus decision made at an extraordinary SSWG meeting on 08/14/2025 at 10:00 AM PT. This is a formal 14 day notice that the SSWG will make that decision at that meeting. As allowed by the Process Document, this notice period will run in parallel with the public review period for the above specifications. The voting period will therefore begin on 08/15/2025, instead of 8/11/2025 as was announced earlier.
