Search engines only work if you know what to search for. Right now, there is no indication whatsoever on the openid.net site that a specification council exists. So nobody will search for it. We need a page, or a section on a page, that somebody can find by clicking not very far from openid.net/

I've volunteered for all sorts of things lately, but I don't intend to volunteer for being the editor of lots of councils and groups that I'm not even on, and thus don't know much about.

The mailing lists are all archived, so that's actually better than the wiki as far as I'm concerned, because the archive never goes out of date. Wikis are notoriously out of date because people don't tend to maintain them, whereas e-mail archives are always the truth at the time of posting and stay that way. And stuff tends to be EASIER to find in the archives because all you need is search -- no navigation involved.

At least, that's how I tend to access the data when I need it.

P.S. If you want to create a wiki page, go ahead. I know that people have different styles for accessing information if you prefer that style, knock yourself out! If you do please point me to it.

Thank you. Can you post this somewhere where people can find it?

Such as on the wiki?

There aren't chairs.  There's only the council as a whole.

The specs council has only made one decision to date -- recommending
that the members approve the creation of the PAPE working group.
The minutes from that decision were posted to the specs list.

The membership was announced on the general list when the council was
created.

                              Cheers,

Subject: [OpenID board] Specifications Council Questions

1. Who chairs the specification council and convenes meetings?

2. Where are the meeting minutes of the specifications council?

3. Is there a reason that other than David's announce message to the
mailing list ( http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2008-June/
002329.html ) there seems to be no public information about it? (At
least I can't find it -- perhaps other's can't either.) Can somebody
on the specifications council fix that?
