Begin forwarded message: From: Chuck Mortimore <[email protected]> Date: January 17, 2014 at 12:48:35 AM EST To: John Ehrig <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Call For Nominations - OpenID Foundation Corporate Board Member Representative Election Hey guys - spoke with my manager and got ok'd to allocate time to the foundation ( if the voters will have me :-) ) What are the key opportunities you see for the OpenID Foundation in 2014? - This should be a critical year for OpenID. Connect will finalize as a specification, and we'll see most of the large providers move to Connect. However, the core specification is applicable well beyond these initial consumer oriented deployments. I'd like to see the foundation's work being adopted by enterprises, and further developer for their use-cases around mobility and devices. How will you demonstrate your commitment to the work of the foundation in terms of resources, focus and leadership? - Leverage Salesforce.com's leadership position in enterprise cloud computing to get OpenID Technologies (connect and account choosers) visible to our customers and deployed in a broad set of scenarios. What would you like to see accomplished over the next year, and how do you personally plan to make these things happen? - I'd like to see the Connect working group develop profiles for the next generation of use-cases, including token federation, identity for native mobile applications, and delegation to devices for Internet of Things. We'll be able to offer practical feedback from customers we're engaging on these topics. What resources will you and your company bring to help the foundation attain its goals? - We'll be trying to lead by example. Salesforce will be deploying these technologies to enable our own service, as well as providing them to our customers to enable their own use-cases. Our broad reach and brand should help bridge OpenID into the enterprise. What current or past experiences, skills, or interests will inform your contributions and views? - 15 years of experience in the Identity industry, at influential organizations like Netscape, Sun, Sxip, and Salesforce - Extensive practical experience in enterprise and cloud identity, as both a large scale SP and IDP - Prior experience helping author, develop, and deploy standards like OAuth, OpenID Connect, and SCIM > On Mon, Jan 6, 2014 at 5:17 PM, John Ehrig <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Chuck: > > > > The call for nominations for the OpenID Foundation Corporate Board Member > Representative is now open and will close on Monday, January 20th. > > > > Voting and nominations will be conducted via e-mail.
