Dear Board,
Today we have appointed a new (OIDE) OpenID Representative( Ognen Basarovski) in Macedonia http://openid.net/pipermail/eu/2008-September/000245.html I have sent the last month this email below but we have not yet received reply We have a lot of requests of candidacies from Armenia, China, Korea, South Africa, Morocco, Israel, India, Iran, Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, Mauritius, Kenya, Indonesia Please, let me know what it is possible or not? Thank you for your understanding and your answer Best regards -Snorri De : Snorri Giorgetti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : jeudi 14 août 2008 02:24 À : '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc : 'Scott Kveton'; 'David Recordon'; 'Bill Washburn'; 'Johannes Ernst'; 'Drummond Reed'; 'Mike Jones'; 'Dick Hardt'; 'Martin Atkins'; 'Artur Bergman'; 'Raj Mata'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Objet : OpenID Representatives in the World Importance : Haute SUBJECT: OpenID Representatives in the World ATTACHED: OpenID Armenian Community Dear Members of the Board, You have appointed me in September 2007 as the OIDF European Representative (at this stage I AM STILL THE ONLY ONE to hold this type of position within OIDF). I am planning to leave this position soon, and to entrust it to another person who will take my succession and will continue managing and organizing Europe. Since you have entrusted me with this function, we have reproduced exactly the same position at the National level, for each of the European countries. You can find a list of all 27 OpenID Representatives here: http://www.openideurope.eu/team. This has routinely been published on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List. As a rule, this type of position has been opened under a 1 to 2 year, renewable agreement We now have about a year experience, and we find this role of OpenID representative to be efficient and essential to the local development of OpenID. It often constitutes a first step of the establishment of a local Chapter or of a local Community. However, my question to you today is: How do we proceed with the other countries of the world? By this, I mean the countries beyond Europe. For the last 2 to 3 months, I have received and studied over 15 requests emanating from highly motivated and interested persons who have volunteered to become the OpenID Representative for their country. This is happening in Asia, Africa & the Middle East, and South America As an example, I have attached the last email I received from Albert Poghosyan, this is his candidacy to become the OpenID Armenian Representative. Of course, I have had the opportunity to talk with all these members over the last few months; and I guarantee the caliber, qualifications and the motivation of these persons. The problem, simply stated, is: We cannot use the OIDE framework to appoint African or Chinese OpenID Representatives. What do we do? What I am proposing (but you perhaps have a better idea) is that you would give me a green light to create additional OpenID Representative pages on OpenID.net, where all the OpenID Representatives of the world are listed (including the European ones). These newly appointed representatives would simultaneously be posted on a mailing List ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). What are your views on this? In advance, I thank you for your timely response, so that I can give an answer all these people. Regards, Snorri ----------------------------------------------- Dear Snorri, Being the member of OpenID Europe I would like to found and develop OpenID Armenian Community in Yerevan, Armenia. I would like to establish community web-site at www.openid.am if it possible and establish the community team. Right now the main focus of this team will be development of OpenID user-centric identity management system for eGovernment systems. I believe that we might have concrete project for Republic of Armenias Government. Hope to establish constructive cooperation as with OpenID Europe as with US/Canada communities. Best Regards Albert Poghosyan
