Absent: Nat Sakimura Dylan Casey Tracy Hulver Visitors: John Ehrig, Global Inventures Tom Smedinghoff, Edwards Wildman Palmer Mike Leszcz, OIX Mike Polosky - Verizon 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. [John Bradley joined the call at this time] 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.
