Do you have a suggestion on how this should have been done differently
by me?
I made the motion on the board call and agreed to withdraw it until
after the membership committee report was published, and then we could
do the vote over email. Agreed that the vote should have been started
on the public list -- but we are here now.
Do you have a new motion to bring the nominees on the board that you
would support that we could act upon?

This is not a vote against any of the nominees, but procedurally and
organizationally we can do better than this. Hence to the motion as
it stands at this time:

As we are actively in the process of recruiting for a Executive
Director
which my understanding is should complete shortly coupled; with the
manner in which this vote has been requested/handled is a clear
indication to me that adding any additional members at this time would
not be prudent.

Subject: [OpenID board] URGENT: New Board members motion
Importance: High
(this motion was originally posted on the board-private list to
protect the confidentiality of the potential corporate board members
-- reposting to public list to provide transparency to community)
Background:
There are two corporations that have expressed interest in joining the
OpenID Foundation for the last six months. The board approved adding 5
new corporate board seats, to be balanced with community seats so that
the community seats have a majority.
Brian Kissel has been active on the marketing committee and the
customer research committee. He organized a gathering of content
providers in NY that led to the OpoenID UX summit last Monday.
The primary source of funding for the Foundation is corporate board
seats. In order to fund a new Executive Director and OpenID adoption
initiatives, we need more funding. The patience of the two
corporations is running thin as they have been waiting for far to long
for a decision from the board.
The motion: Add the two corporate board seats and add Brian Kissel as
the community seat. Brian's seat (like all other community board
seats) would be up for re-election when we hold an election.
All board members need to vote or abstain for the motion to be
considered.
Votes to date:
+1 Dick Hardt (made motion)
+1 Martin Atkins (seconded motion)
-1 David Recordon
