Subject: OpenID Board Election
The OpenID Foundation is holding its first election of community
board members starting today. All members of the OpenID Foundation
are eligible to nominate themselves, second the nominations of
others who self-nominated, and vote for candidates. If you’re not
already a member of the OpenID Foundation, we encourage you to join
at https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration.
Board participation requires a substantial ongoing investment of
time and energy and is a commitment that should not be undertaken
lightly. Rather, should you be elected, expect to be called upon to
serve both on the board and on its committees where the work of the
foundation is conducted, and to actively contribute. That being
said however, if you’re passionate about OpenID and advancing
digital identity, have the time to devote to community service in
this manner, and are a person who gets things done and works well
with others, we welcome your candidacy for the OpenID board of
directors.
Voting and nominations are conducted using the OpenID you registered
when you joined the Foundation. Login at https://openid.net/foundation/members/with
that OpenID to participate in the election. You should have also
received instructions on how to participate in a separate note from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if you’re already a member. If you experience problems
participating in the election or joining the foundation, please send
a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Seven community directors are being elected to the board. The four
candidates receiving the most votes will serve 2 year terms and the
three candidates receiving the next numbers of votes will serve 1
year terms. (This allows us to institute staggered 2-year terms
going forward.) In order to be eligible for election, your
candidacy must have been seconded by at least three other members.
The election will be conducted on the following schedule:
Nominations open: Monday, November 24
Nominations close: Monday, December 8
Election begins: Wednesday, December 10
Election ends: Wednesday, December 24
Results announced by: Wednesday, December 31
New board terms start: Thursday, January 1
Thank you for participating in advancing OpenID!

the Elections Committee
