I'm not sure if we need a more formal process, though what you proposed (of self nominations) is different than last time when one board member nominated another.

I need some more time to think about companies as officers of the Foundation -- it feels a bit strange -- though allowing it would then effect the composition of the executive committee which is currently the four officers (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary) in addition to one corporate board member (which seems to go against "we are one board in all respects other those specifically called out in the bylaws"). If the officers were allowed to be companies, then it does not seem like the fifth member of the Executive Committee should be limited to a corporate board member.

Per the vote mid-last year that we are one board in all respects other those specifically called out in the bylaws, not two sub- board, yes, corporate members are eligible to be officers. (I'm writing this partly so that all the board members are aware of this standing decision.)

I would imagine that people would self-nominate and make a statement on the call, but I suppose that we could have a more formal process of people want to.

Subject: [OpenID board] Officer Elections?

How will the officer elections work on the call next week?  I remember
something like a nomination and a second from last time though it
seemed fairly hard to do over the phone.  Just wondering how we see
the process working, if corporate members are eligible to be officers,
and if there is any part of it we should try to complete before the
actual call.

Thanks,
--David
