I made the call with Darin that it was better to have a simpler process that we
knew would work rather than one with untested code that wasn't strictly
necessary to run the election.
In the future we could do "nominate another" functionality, but this would also
require "confirm that you're willing to run" functionality, which we didn't
have implemented by the time we made the call.

FWIW, I just joined as an individual and was able to access the voting tool. I
wasn't able to nominate anyone other than myself (which I'm not interested in
doing). Was this intentional, i.e. that you couldn't nominate someone else
until after they nominated themselves?

Hey all,
I'm glad this email got out so that we're pushing ahead, but am curious if
everything on the to-do list got knocked out already for the membership tool?
Are we currently confident in the ability for new members to register? I'm
seeing what seems like a bug? when I go to edit my contact information that it
doesn't fill in my current OpenID, Most of the copy changes I suggested last
week don't seem to have made it in.
So, not trying to impede progress just wanting to make sure that the known
issues have been taken care of and tested.

Subject: [OpenID] 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. Log in 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]<mailto:[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]<mailto:[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!
-- Mike Jones, for the
Elections Committee
