I just spoke with Don (who asked me to send this because he won't be able to be
online for a bit this evening). Yes, the poll should be deleted. The board
should vote on all three documents (IPR Policy, IPR Procedures, Bylaws) and
*THEN* we should have the membership vote to approve the changes to the IPR
Policy and Procedures documents. (No membership vote is required to update the
bylaws.)
Don will also look into distributing the correct copies of all three documents
to the board shortly.
Have a good weekend, everyone!

Apologies, I thought I had answered the question when I said I believe I am
following the proper procedure. I believe you are now telling me that the
procedure is to have the BoD vote first, then the full membership. I did not
understand that to be the case. If that is correct, I will delete the poll.
Please confirm.

Hi John,
The policy is only one of two documents which make up the IPR policy. The
second is a process document which is missing (and was Mike's question a few
days ago).
You still haven't answered my question of why we're asking the membership to
vote on this document when the board hasn't approved it yet.
Thanks,
--David

But John, where are the documents being voted on? As the board has not
received a full copy of them, I do not understand how the membership would have
either. Additionally, why would we ask the membership to vote on this change
when the full board hasn't yet seen it?

I'm a bit confused. Why is this being sent out to the membership for a vote
when the board hasn't yet approved it. I think Mike asked for a copy of the
latest documents a few days ago.

Hello David Recordon ,
Voting will open on the following poll on 2009-10-16 -- please register your
vote before 2009-10-23.

Title:
IPR Policy Update v1.5
Description:
One of the most important responsibilities of the OpenID Foundation is its
stewardship of intellectual property; maintaining and protecting OpenID
technical protocols as they evolve. We are asking the community to vote on a
revision to our IPR policy which provides information regarding companies who
are parts of larger holding companies or other legal entities (aka "Bound
Entities"). These are the only recommended changes to the IPR policy at this
time. The updated IPR document, with the draft changes 'tracked', can be
viewed here:
http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2009/09/OpenID-IPR-Policy-final-draft-v1.5.doc
Available Choices:
* Approve
* Reject
* Abstain
You will receive another notice when the poll opens. Thank you for your
participation!
