There were some discussions off-list regarding continuations of this WG.

After researching this space thoroughly, I believe it is fair to say that this topic doesn't lend itself to standardization because vendor representatives are not allowed to suggest features without
going through the legal department which makes the process much too slow.

However, the biggest problem is the zero buy-in from the token vendors who basically are against all attempts to commoditize tokens.  Even if you have the most recent Windows server and clients, you
can't provision tokens without also buying a $25 000 Forefront Identity Manager system as well as hiring really pricey consultants.

Apple will be the party that finally get the provisioning ball running!  Particularly in phones.
