Hi Luke,

Hey Eddy,
I don’t have the historical context here (I just joined the board in
February) so forgive my ignorance. What are the specific things that
you have been fighting for that you haven’t seen come to fruition?
In the meantime I found the supposed member benefits which are stated at
https://openid.net/foundation/members/
In particular I see the following critical shortcomings with benefits of
Company/Organizational Membership:
* Display your corporate logo/name on the OpenID Foundation website
and promotional materials
* Be eligible for inclusion in OpenID Foundation press releases and
industry events
For any corporate member this might a critical added value for becoming
a corporate foundation member of the foundation. Those are the benefits
which differ from the individual membership. When looking at the fees,
this has a hefty price too. But we haven't received them!!!
I’m pretty sure that the maintenance of the foundation website is more
a matter of resources and lack of general consensus than a malicious
attempt to exclude.
At least it should be addressed when made aware of. I've been in contact
with Bill and Don, but I wasn't able to advance our cause one iota.
Also, with the exception of Allen Tom (who has long been a community
advocate since before Yahoo became a provider), none of the community
members are currently also corporate members.
You are correct. I'm retracting my previous statement.
