Thanks for the prodding on this Snorri ... As the hiring and board chair I should have given an update a few weeks ago. My apologies. > Could it be that the current election of the new Board have effectively > frozen the recruiting process until a new Board is elected?

The recruitment process is far from frozen and not currently tied to the election process. After the interviews at IIW we got down to one very strong candidate who declined our offer the week of 11/17. With the holidays upon us and elections underway the board is putting together short and long-term plans to make forward progress on current momentum and get a full-time ED in place. The executive committee is meeting on Thursday to discuss our options as we all want to see action *right now* that only a full-time ED can deliver but we also want to make sure we get the best person for the full-time job. I'll make sure to give an update on Friday after the executive committee meets to discuss. > To us all, this is an important concern.

I think I echo the entire boards' sentiments that the ED hire will be one of the most important things this board does as it will have a significant impact on the operation of the OIDF and what we can accomplish in the coming months. That said, just as important as the ED is, every single member is equally important in helping drive initiatives within the OIDF. - Scott _______________________________________________ board mailing list [email protected] http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/board
