Open questions are on the home page with a public, nonbinding vote. The working group reviews the results before it rules.

Working group resolutions adopted in Specification 1.0. Named, unlabeled, and unstable rooms get a four-character code from the registrar, and names become display data (section 4.2). Records carry a claim status, a sale ends the claim, and no one can delete a record (section 4.4). Private homes publish their town, not their street (section 4.5). The question of whether the door number belongs in the identifier is resolved (section 5.6).
The registrar is now the OpenRoomID Project. Roomza, Inc. is disclosed as founding sponsor. Registry records are licensed CC0.
Paper published as working draft v0.2.
New site identity. The standard is written OpenRoomID.
