Drummond, This is surely important to start working our way through. It does seem to me that we will benefit from working together in the most collaborative and global way possible. In all of my experience, the simpler the global membership model the better for everyone. My three most salient earlier organizational experiences with ICANN, XDI.org, and CIX stand in stark contrast because of distinctions in complexity.

Bill, is this something you and the rest of the Membership Committee can take on? =Drummond From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Snorri Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 4:35 PM To: [email protected] Cc: 'Jean-Christophe Capelli'; 'Christophe Ducamp' Subject: [OpenID board] Member Agreement & local chapters Importance: High Dear, You finalize the OIDF Member Agreement and congratulation you, The opportunity to inform you of operation in Europe: I know now the effectiveness of “OpenID local chapter” (For large countries who do not speak English) For example in France, “OpenID France” (Christophe Ducamp ) was created => www.openid.asso.fr => NPO of French law. OpenID France already has received several Members Agreement (French MA = easier than OIDF = only 1/2 pages) and is directly related to “OpenID Europe” (OIDE) => NPO of Belgium law. The experiment will continue soon in other EU Countries but the France is a model. The goal is to simplify the differents initiatives depending on the EU country and to have a single operating model Thus OpenID Europe should become OIDF Member but off course his contribution will be greater than that fixed by the “Membership Application” (NPO) To resume, in general, I think that it is important now to think now and sign a document between OIDF and OIDE about our mission statement. What do you think? I’m at your disposal to give more information Cheers -Snorri
