October 6, 2022 Executive Committee Call Minutes Present: Gail Hodges - Executive Director Don Thibeau - Non-Executive Director Mike Jones Nat Sakimura George Fletcher John Bradley Bjorn Hjelm
Absent: (none) Visitors: Mike Leszcz - OpenID Foundation Tom Smedinghoff - Locke Lord LLP 1. Memberships Workday joined as a corporate member. Brazil Open Banking is joining as a sustaining member. Some large organizations' memberships are overdue. 2. Strategic Task Force The task force met and provided feedback about the website redesign proposals. We plan to have a task force session about HL7 and ONC. 3. Posting Signed Agreements on Our Website We've seen increasing requests to redact PII in posted contribution and participation agreements. We're considering removing the links to the signed documents. Mike Leszcz said that chairs could still access the documents on WordPress. There would still be a list of entities and individuals. With the new website, we could put them in a private password-protected database. Mike Jones expressed a preference for continuing to list the working groups that people are contributing to publicly. It's understood that this would require manual extraction of this data. John commented that we could redact the PDFs with Acrobat. Mike Leszcz said that a recent experience trying to do that wasn't successful. John said that there's a redaction tool in the paid version. We unanimously agreed to remove the links. We also unanimously agreed to remediate the website as a separate step. 4. Login to openid.net Some people and organizations are having trouble logging into our website. We discussed using a text box for people to type in their e-mail addresses. Mike Jones said that WebFinger is not widely implemented. John pointed out that people use hotmail email address for Google accounts, etc. George said that if we enable e-mail registration, we'll have to handle the abuse use cases. Some banks are also unwilling to use private or third-party accounts for their logins. Mike recommended that we ask JanRain/Akamai what they would recommend. We could also talk to others, such as Okta and Ping, that may be able to do this. Mike Jones and George both agreed that we shouldn't do this ourselves. Gail and Mike Leszcz will investigate. 5. Election Schedule Mike Leszcz shared a proposed election schedule with Mike Jones and Gail to review. It's similar to past years' schedules. The EC was fine with the schedule as shared. 6. Calendar One difference between 2023 and past years is that we plan to hold the February board meeting virtually, rather than in-person during RSA (which is not until April). We're getting requests to expand our workshops to include working sessions. We plan to do that in 2023.
