Visitors:
John Ehrig, Global Inventures
1. Legal Update
Don remains on track to update our IPR policies and procedures and
bylaws by the end of June. These updates will include changes made
in response to requests by two major companies with complex
ownership structures who are interested in joining the board. Don
and Global Inventures are working on building a complete archive of
the IPR declarations we’ve received thus far and procedures for
adding new ones as they come in.
The OIDF will be retaining a lawyer to act as general counsel,
rather than continuing to rely on Microsoft funding free legal work
for the OIDF.
2. Whitepapers
The foundation plans to work with the security committee on
publishing a whitepaper on best security and usability practices.
Andrew Nash is chairing the security committee and will be working
on the security aspects of the whitepaper. Other best practices and
forward-looking whitepapers are anticipated.
3. Internet Identity Workshop
We partnered with the Information Card Foundation in buying a dinner
for the IIW participants. We believe that that was a good
investment in demonstrating cooperation and building goodwill among
the identity community.
4. Strategic Use of Funds for Special Projects
Don is soliciting input for a short list of projects such as
whitepapers and interop tests that we want to fund. Having John
Bradley develop additional security-focused interop tests and
ensuring that major implementations have run those tests is one
project on the radar. Another is a joint whitepaper with the ICF on
the value of having an active client to manage people’s identity
interactions. David asked how we can reach out to the community to
elicit their participation in these efforts as well.
5. IBM Representative Change
Nataraj (Raj) Nagaratnam will be replacing Tony Nadalin as the IBM
board representative at the end of the month.
