Building on this (since I agree with Dick), it is however part of the
Foundation's job to help facilitate the community determining the
right UX where it can. Thus hosting meetings, helping with research,
etc are all things the Foundation can and should be doing.

Hi Chris
I'm breaking it down along types of work.
I do think it is the Foundation's job to do the marketing. It is in
the charter.
It is NOT the Foundation's job to determine the right UX -- which is
why including the JanRain code on the Foundation website was so
controversial (IMHO).
The Foundation charter clearly states that the Foundation does NOT
set the technical direction of OpenID. I wanted to clarify this
point in case you and other board members were not familiar with it.

It seems like you're breaking things down along the lines of "what"
comprises OpenID and "how" it advances in the marketplace -- or at
least that's how I'm interpreting your statement.
Unfortunately marketing a shitty product won't get us very far, so
I'd say that UX is just as primary as marketing. It might not be up
to the board to "do" the UX work, but nor is it the board's job to
"do" the marketing.
Facilitate both, certainly -- and given where we are -- I'd say
with equal vigor.

Chris, your comments bring up an important scope issue: I would
consider user experience to be a technical issue, and if so, not an
issue for the board to determine -- but an area for the board to
facilitate activity.
Marketing of OpenID is clearly within the the scope of the board.
