For what it's worth, PDF hasn't been a proprietary format since July 2008, when
it was published as ISO Standard ISO/IEC 32000-1:2008. Anyone can write to it
and read it now. And last I checked, both Google and Bing index PDF files.
Given PDF is an open standard and indexed by search engines, I'm not sure in
what sense you're asserting that PDF is not "web-friendly".

Oh. It's a PDF. Hrm.
Well, in the interest of open technologies and searchable data, here's the same
information in a web-friendly format:

I think Mike Jones is the keeper of the guidelines on how the process works,
but as I understand it the top vote recipients have 2 year terms, and the next
group gets one year terms. So in this election, 3 get 2 year terms and 3 get
one year terms. Others are kept on the list in the event someone resigns or
more are needed if we add more corporate members.
Good idea to post a FAQ. John, is this something you can do?
Cheers,
Brian

Is information on voting readily available?
I feel like we should set up
wiki.openid.net/Elections<http://wiki.openid.net/Elections> to help bring a lot
of this information together...
What it our outreach strategy for getting people to vote? Who is eligible to
vote?
I think we'll need to work with Darin again to send out an email to the
membership to let them know that voting begins tomorrow!
And, what determines who wins? Simple majority? How do we handle ties? Etc. I'm
sure there's information about this in the bylaws, but a simple FAQ would be
very useful.
