As we are actively in the process of recruiting for a Executive Director which my understanding is should complete shortly coupled; with the manner in which this vote has been requested/handled is a clear indication to me that adding any additional members at this time would not be prudent. Gary. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dick Hardt Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OpenID board] URGENT: New Board members motion Importance: High (this motion was originally posted on the board-private list to protect the confidentiality of the potential corporate board members -- reposting to public list to provide transparency to community) Background: There are two corporations that have expressed interest in joining the OpenID Foundation for the last six months. The board approved adding 5 new corporate board seats, to be balanced with community seats so that the community seats have a majority. Brian Kissel has been active on the marketing committee and the customer research committee. He organized a gathering of content providers in NY that led to the OpoenID UX summit last Monday. The primary source of funding for the Foundation is corporate board seats. In order to fund a new Executive Director and OpenID adoption initiatives, we need more funding. The patience of the two corporations is running thin as they have been waiting for far to long for a decision from the board. The motion: Add the two corporate board seats and add Brian Kissel as the community seat. Brian's seat (like all other community board seats) would be up for re-election when we hold an election. All board members need to vote or abstain for the motion to be considered. Votes to date: +1 Dick Hardt (made motion) +1 Martin Atkins (seconded motion) -1 David Recordon _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board
