Hi Dick,
I know perfectly well how members vote within OIDF. But as I do not know the list of the Members of OIDFas that list is not accessible to the publicI cannot tell you if certain members have paid dues twice, but I would be surprised if they had. As I have already explained, many businesses in Europe and in Asia will never wish to be (only/directly) members of an US Foundation. This is simply a reality of the market and a cultural fact. These 22 members (I am hoping for a larger number, 80 to 100 in 2009) are to this day authorized to vote with OIDE. We can hope that in the near future this would have for them a greater significance than today, in particular after my recent interviews with the Presidency (France since this week http://www.ue2008.fr/PFUE/lang/en/accueil) of the European Community which seem promising. The EU Government would help OpenID, both by initiating a European normalization process, and by participating in the writing of the technical specifications. As I have offered several times to the Board, it would be quite possible to set in place something large and quite good at the global level, with a system involving controlled sharing (this is what we are already doing in Europe with the National Chapters), a system within which each Chapter would bring in funding for the Foundation (meaning OIDF this time). In this way, a French company which would become Member of OpenID France, or an Argentinean business becoming a Member of OpenID Argentina (I use this example since the OpenID Foundation Argentina is in the process of being incorporated in Buenos Aires) would automatically also become a Member of OIDF. Of course a legal and financial organization should be put in place beforehand. Once again, all these topics are mentioned in the OpenID09 program I am soon to present to the Board and the Community. I remain, until then, at your disposal -Snorri De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Dick Hardt Envoyé : samedi 5 juillet 2008 19:46 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: [OpenID board] Agenda for 7/8/2008 ...

I'd also like to have a discussion on when we're going to have the board election. Bill told me in private conversation that the contractors may be within days of enabling people to vote with their OpenIDs, which was the gating factor that delayed the election when we talked about it several months ago. I'd put this before the scope discussion in the agenda order.
