The OpenID Foundation Customer Research Committee (CRC) reaches out to actual and potential adopters of OpenID. The objective is to learn what worked for them and what did not when adopting OpenID, and what the OpenID community needs to do in order:

• to get even broader adoption of OpenID by more parties, in particular sites accepting OpenIDs
• to make existing OpenID deployments more successful (e.g. higher OpenID transaction volume)

It is envisioned that the results of the research will be available to the membership of the OpenID Foundation. If you believe you have some interesting insights, we'd love to hear from you. We currently do not have a separate mailing list, so we encourage you to use the general list.

A summary of the current results can be found in this slideshow. which was presented at the Internet Identity Workshop in November 2008.

A list of the candidate questions are available for review.
