Hi Don, I think you have missed the point entirely. Let me quote our european colleagues. " was also wondering whether it would be more appropriate to have one single consolidated foundation".
Right! Lets think in terms of one single consolidated foundation. So what have you got to say about that? Now let me add my personal views to this. Living in an increasingly globalized world, something so universal like "identity", should be globalized and made "one". Instead of breaking up OpenID into cultural, geographic and language boundaries, we should be working towards unifying OpenID into one universal Identity. I think it is ridiculous to think of OpenID europe, or OpenID Japan or OpenID India or whatever you want to call it.
