I think it is really good if we can reserve a seat for any large
chapters.
Ideally it should be a board seat; a third type called "regional" or
"non-profit" following "community" and "corporate". There obviously
has to be some threashold but something like a non-profit with 30
member organization or 100 individuals or annual budget larger than US
$25K or equivalent men-hours committed to OpenID activities can be good.
If that is difficult from the process point of view for the time being
(it would require Process change that requires an all member vote I
guess), then we should invite regional representatives (e.g. EU rep.)
as invited experts to the board call. Since the board call should be
comletely open apart from some specially designated sessions such as
personnel issues, there should be no problem for it. We are merely
requireing him to attend the calls to keep the title such as "EU
Representative". Of course, they do not have vote, but this board I
believe is wise enough to listen and consider it when voting.

Has anyone thought about how we increase European representation on
the board? In the beginning Martin Atkins was on the board with one
goal of being able to better represent Europe. Last year Snorri was
elected, but unfortunately did not participate at all. Kick is now
really pushing forward a lot of organization around OpenID in Europe
and in order for us to grow globally, we should find a way to
include and support their efforts. Any creative ideas around
bringing good European representation onto the board?

All,
Unfortunately Europe didn't make it to the OIDF Board.
Let the result be a stimulus to work more closer on the development
of the
European OpenID community and the internationalization of OpenID as
a whole.
This Thursday 7th January at 21.00 CET there will be the second
conf. call.
Skype: +9900827044560172 (Please contact if you prefer a tollfree
number)
The following agenda items are suggested:
- Goals of OIDF and how to contribute?
- EU RP's, are there any showcases, what hurdles do we see?
- How to increase European (Corporate) members for OIDF?
- What marketing efforts do we plan for 2010 in Europe and how will
OIDF
contribute?
*RP factsheet?
*Events?
- EEMA Conference (London)
- Catalyst (Prague)
-The Next Web (Amsterdam)
- Retail/ Insurance or other RP related events?
- Do we need to work on an EU (International) openid profile like
"ICAM open
trust framework" and how is it related to Stork e-ID or other EU trust
frameworks.
- Other important requirements for openid.next from an EU perspective?
Feel free to respond with other items you like to discuss.
Kick
