What price is that? Easy to judge from the sidelines ...
The price of having information hidden and the community/foundation members uninformed and excluded from the process. (Hint: I miss some really lively discussion which make up typical open source/open standards discussions on mailing lists. They are usually useful for the decision makers and the processes in general, despite the noise.)
Unfortunately I couldn't dedicate the time which I think a board member would/should have to invest in order to be useful. Another time perhaps. This however doesn't mean that I don't want to be informed and part of the processes, otherwise the company I represent wouldn't be a foundation member in first place.If you think you can do a good job on the board, please nominate yourself to the board!
Now, in the context of the supposed trademark violation I want to understand of which nature those violations are and what exactly is going on. Otherwise it's some kind of spreading FUD, because from what I heard so far, there will be "negotiations"...Shall I understand that we can negotiate on the OpenID trademark? I don't see the benefit from hiding this issue away, quite the opposite. If the board can't present a clear stance on such issues and signal clearly to the community and public in general how such violations are handled and of which nature they are - and have the community involved in this process - then (IMO) the board failed in its leadership role.
