Could we get a blog post up on OpenID.net announcing that the
election is now open?
The last post on the election was about nominations being open and
was posted Dec 3.
Has the election really opened if OpenID.net never announces it?
Here's a draft if no one else can get around to it:
OpenID Foundation Board of Director Election Now Open
The first OpenID Foundation election of community board members
opened on December 10th. All members of the OpenID Foundation are
eligible to vote for candidates. If you are not already a member of
the OpenID Foundation, you can join as an individual member for $25/
year.
There are 17 candidates running for a total of seven seats. You may
vote only once, for as many as seven different candidates. The
candidates are (alphabetized by first name):
Allen Tom
Brian Kissel
Chris Messina
David Recordon
Dick Hardt
Eran Hammer-Lahav
Eric Sachs
Johannes Ernst
John Bradley
Joseph Smarr
Luke Shepard
Martin Atkins
Mike Kirkwood
Nat Sakimura
Peter Nixey
Scott Kveton
Snorri Giorgetti
All candidates listed above received the requisite three seconds to
run for the election. The four candidates who receive the most votes
will serve two year terms and the three candidates receiving the
next highest numbers of votes will serve one year terms. (This
allows us to institute staggered two-year terms going forward.)
Board membership requires a substantial ongoing investment of time
and energy. Board members will 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. The best candidates are
passionate about OpenID and advancing digital identity, will have
the time to devote to community service in this manner, and are
people who gets things done and work well with others.
Voting requires that you sign in with the OpenID that you used to
register when you joined the Foundation. If you experience problems
participating in the election or joining the foundation, please send
a note to [email protected].
Voting began on December 10 and ends on Wednesday, December 24.
Results will be announced by Wednesday, December 31, with the
new board terms starting the next day, on Thursday, January 1.
Upon completion of the election, the new board will elect the
officers (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) as well as the
Executive Committee.
