Dear Members of the Board, As you know, I am convinced that the key to OpenID�s development throughout the world is the amount and quality of support we bring to the Local Communities. Putting Local Chapters and Communities in place is a major part of my current activities for OpenID. Since the creation of the �OIDF Local Chapter Policy��which saw the light of day thanks to Mike Jones�we have been able to put in place eight (8) Local Chapters (among them 2 new ones�they came in this week; OpenID Morocco and OpenID Turkey), to which 6 or 7 others (Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece, Korea, Denmark, Thailand, Malaysia�) may be added in the coming weeks. I may add that I have as a personal objective to reach the bar of the 50 Local Chapters in 2009. This being considered, it would seem not normal that the page http://openid.net/foundation/chapters/ be almost hidden at the bottom of the http://openid.net/foundation/ page, in other words, practically invisible. To pursue our progression, we need more visibility; for example, by placing, directly on the Home (at the top and to the right), an �OpenID Worldwide� link (this term of �worldwide� is more clear than �Local Chapters," a term more reserved to internal designation and legal documents). The advantages I see to this are threefold: (a) Allowing visitors coming to OpenID.net from the �rest of the world� to go further, and to be able to come in direct contact, and to receive assistance from, the Community in their own country�in their own language, (b) Give a motivation to new members of the OpenID Community to start a Local Chapter in their country if none exists there yet, (c) Broadcast a true international image to the Foundation and to prove that OpenID is truly a global phenomenon. Do you agree to this? If so, please give me you agreement by mail and I will make the modification on OpenID.net. Thank you, -Snorri
