Subject: [OpenID board] PAPE Vote Discussion
I received the email about voting for the PAPE extension, but it didn't refer
to a place where discussion is happening, has happened, or where debate might
take place about the work (if that's permitted).
In other words, a vote has been called on the PAPE extension, and, without the
benefit of context, we're being asked to vote for or against it, or to abstain.
While the membership is probably small enough that many WG projects have
visibility, it seems presumptive and premature to put this measure to vote
without providing background information, context, a history of the work that's
gone into developing the extension, an explanation of what a positive or
negative voting outcome would mean, who should vote, why you should vote one
way or another, and what the timeline to the vote is.
In other words, if all of these questions are answered in the bylaws, it would
be at least handy to point to these references so that I, as an OIDF member,
can make an informed decision in how I vote.
Is all of this information available somewhere?
