It looks like there's a W3C draft "in the works" but I'm concerned since almost half the editors work for the two companies trying to pass this proprietary Azure/AD vendor lock-in nonsense.

You may be comforted by the fact that the top three people on the Github contributor graph[1] are not from those two companies. I've skimmed some of the published meeting minutes[2], and JCJ (Mozilla) and JeffH (Paypal) seem to be highly involved.

EDIT: add forgotten link


What is "this proprietary Azure/AD vendor lock-in" that you refer to? How is Azure AD more proprietary than AWS SSO, etc?
