Good input Pamela. Historically we've had a hard time getting critical mass on Committees and determined that we'd try to limit the initial number of them. That said, any committee can form subcommittees to support their objectives. For example, the Adoption Committee is already forming a Online Retailer subcommittee chaired by Rob Harles of Sears since adoption by retailers may have specific needs beyond general RP adoption. If the Adoption committee determines that a UX subcommittee is worthwhile and can be adequately staffed, that's great. But we want to be clear that the overall goal is Adoption, not UX, not marketing. UX and Marketing exist to drive Adoption, which is a top priority for 2010. My hope is the Adoption Committee, with strong leadership and input from existing and prospective RPs, will help us determine the areas that the OIDF needs to focus on most to drive adoption, then we'll allocate members/volunteers/subcommittees and OIDF resources to support those stated needs.

Personally I think that the work products of usability and adoption are not that closely aligned. My apologies if this discussion has already resolved itself before I was added to these lists, I just wonder that usability isn't a first-order subject to tackle. Thanks, Pamela ps - speaking of usability, the pbwiki currently displays no hint that it supports OpenID on either the main page header or the registration page - a user must magically know to skip the "create an account" link and go directly to the login page where the openid link finally appears....

I have started that process with the members of the Adoption Committee and have talked with Daniel, Rob, and Marc who have agreed to serve in the listed positions if the rest of the members approve. If there are other members of the committee who would like to serve as chair or vice chair, we'll have a similar discussion to what we did for the Executive Committee, and if necessary have a vote. So anyone who is interested in being a chair or vice chair of any committee, now is your chance to share that desire with the rest of the members of the committee and get your committee organized. Once you've selected a chair and vice chair, I'd ask each committee to update their portion of the Committee home page and to create or modify existing pages for that specific committee. For example, the old Marketing Committee page has been converted and updated to the new Adoption Committee page: https://openid.pbworks.com/Adoption-Committee By the way John, I added you to as a potential chair/vice chair to the Security and Government Committees, hope that's OK. Realistically since Mike Ozburn lives in DC and is focused on the government, it seems like he might be the most reasonable candidate for the Chair. But that's up to the Security Committee to figure out. As Don said, we want to distribute more of the leadership of the OIDF to the committees, now is the time so show that we can make that happen. Thanks in advance to everyone who steps up. Cheers, Brian ___________ Brian Kissel<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/10/254> CEO - JanRain, Inc.

Ultimately it's up to each committee to select their chair and vice-chair, but I wanted to jump start the process. When you review the list, please inform me or the entire list of the following: 1. Which committees you would like to be on, if you're not already listed 2. Which committees you're listed on that you don't want to be on 3. Which committees you'd be willing to serve as chairman or vice-chairman on. You can update this yourself on the wiki or let me know and I'll make the updates.
