1.       Board Representatives
Don reviewed who the current board representatives are.  There were no changes 
from the previous board, since all incumbents were reelected (John Bradley, 
Mike Jones, and George Fletcher) or joined as sustaining members (Nat 
Sakimura).  We expect an additional sustaining board member to join shortly.


2.       Executive Committee Members
The current officers and community representative were reelected unanimously.  
Those are: Chairman - Nat Sakimura, Vice-Chairman - Adam Dawes, Secretary - 
Mike Jones, Treasurer - John Bradley, Community Representative - George 
Fletcher.

3.       Certification Update
We are on track to launch certification at RSA in April.  Early adopters 
Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Ping Identity, and Deutsche Telekom have been 
testing, as well as some other parties.  Symantec has provided hosts to the 
foundation on which the certification testing software will be run.  Designated 
funding and the general budget are currently covering the costs of our 
certification work.  The legal agreements and other documents have undergone 
substantial review by the executive committee and the working group.  There are 
drafts of the foundation certification web pages at 
http://openid.net/certification/, which people are encouraged to review.

[Raj Mata joined the call at this time]


4.       Certification Legal Agreements
The certification legal documents have undergone substantial review by the 
executive committee and parties that plan to sign them.  The current documents 
address only issues needed for the initial launch.  They intentionally leave 
out issues such as fees that may be charged in the future, which are still to 
be determined by the board.

Minor updates have been applied to the Terms and Conditions document to 
incorporate feedback received from parties that reviewed them.  Liability 
protection has been added for directors, officers, and members.  It was 
clarified that certification statements can be made in local languages.  There 
have been no changes to the Certification of Conformance document.
Tom reviewed liability issues.  In particular, he explained that liability for 
any false statements lies with the party initially making those false 
statements, and not with the foundation or its directors.

Adam Dawes moved and Mike Jones seconded the motion to approve the 
certification legal documents.  They were adopted approved.


5.       Certification Messaging
Raj Mata agreed to write a whitepaper on self-certification.  Symantec is 
helping create messaging for the certification launch.


6.       Liaison Update
During the executive committee call a week ago, Nat suggested a few additional 
liaison relationships.  One that has been talked about is FIDO.  Another 
possible one is the W3C.  The W3C is starting an Internet of Things (IoT) 
working group.  An ISO IoT working group is also forming.  We already have a 
liaison relationship with the ISO/IEC WG on Identity Management and Privacy 
JTC1/SC27/WG5.  These possibilities should be considered by the board.

7.       Marketing Committee Update
The Marketing Committee is creating agendas for our workshops before IIW 
https://openid-mar-2015.eventbrite.com and at the EIC 
https://www.id-conf.com/events/eic2015-openid.  The Foundation will be 
represented at the Mobile World Congress by Jörg Connotte of Deutsche Telekom 
and John Bradley.
