Roy, I have verbal commitment from all of the contributors to sign the CCLA, though I will make sure to email everyone stressing this point again later this evening.

That's great, but I wasn't just concerned about the XRI IPR. I understand Yadis and OpenID technology to the extent that it uses the existing URI infrastructure. I see no reason for either technology to use XRIs. However, just to be clear, I don't make technical decisions for other projects (just my own) -- my only concerns right now are that the stated scope of the proposed project is accurate and that Apache will have the legal right to redistribute whatever is contributed. Have all the individuals and companies with products that are included in this proposal looked at the CCLA text and agreed to participate on that basis? The reason I ask is because some have not agreed to do so in the past and we have had some optimistic proposers that wait until after the proposal is approved before actually getting buy-in from the supposed contributors. This is fairly important in this case because the URI-based identity proposals do fit well with Apache development philosophy, whereas XRI and OASIS does not IMO. If everyone is on board and understands the software grant/CLA conditions, then this seems to me to be a worthwhile project for the incubator. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
