I am slightly out of tune regarding this thread. My apologies. However I have one related question.
1) I had heard about a year back that the original founders of OpenID, and if I understood this correctly includes David Recordon. 2) I also heard about a year back that the original founders had a veto rights on the decisions made on the OpenID board. 3) Can the board clarify whether I am right or wrong? And If I am right then my request to David recordon is that please do take a more democratic stand on these matters.
