https://openid.pbwiki.com/Bylaws#Section49ActionbyWrittenBallot We can use a written ballot (email will suffice for each board member) and require the following: * The motion or proposed action that * Motion must indicate the number of responses needed to meet quorum and percentage of approvals to pass * Provide an opportunity to specify approval or disapproval of each proposed action * Specify a reasonable time within which to return the ballot to this corporation As per section 4.9 the written ballot is treated as a "special meeting" and is subject to "reasonable time" (7 days) from section 4.4: https://openid.pbwiki.com/Bylaws#Section44NoticeofMeetings As such, I'm going to make the following motion: I would like to conclude the OpenID Bounty program by awarding qualifying open source projects Dokeos, TwikiWiki and Joomla each $5000 for a grand total of $15000 to be paid out by the OpenID Foundation. This motion will require responses from 7 board members with at least 4 +1's (57.1% in favor) from those responses by Wednesday 12/24/2008. - Scott On 11-Dec-08, at 4:59 AM, David Recordon wrote: > +1 > > On Dec 10, 2008, at 7:42 PM, Drummond Reed wrote: > >> Scott, >> >> I second your motion to cut the three checks and then close the >> program. >> >> =Drummond >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On >>> Behalf >>> Of Scott Kveton >>> Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:20 AM >>> To: [email protected] >>> Subject: [OpenID board] OpenID bounty awards ... >>> >>> Hi Everyone, >>> >>> We need to wrap-up the bounty program that we launched 2+ years ago. >>> >>> We have had several on-going requests for bounty awards and I want >>> to >>> get an answer to the folks asking.
