I've been trying to stay out of this because I'm a candidate but in the
interest of clarity, mostly as a past election committee chair, I'm going to
communicate only facts and then entirely recurse myself from any involvement in
decisions made by the foundation based upon those facts. As the past elections
committee chair for the previous two elections, upon which this year's
election's procedures were based, I do have some authoritative knowledge of the
facts below.
Don's election announcement sent to the OpenID general list on November 9th
with the subject line "OIDF Board Election Announcement" contained the
following text:
Nominations open: Monday, November 15
Nominations close: Monday, November 29
Times for all dates are Noon, U.S. Pacific Time.
Thus, for this election, nominations opened at Noon Pacific Time on Monday,
November 15th and closed at Noon Pacific Time on Monday, November 29th. The
election tool enforces the dates and times entered. The Noon Pacific time
starting and ending times were used for the 2008 and 2009 elections as well.
Those are the facts as I understand them.

nominate myself
I was planning to nominate myself for the board tonight (was busy with family
over the weekend), but the UI to nominate myself has gone away. I thought today
(11/29) was the last day to nominate myself. Is that GMT or something weird? Or
was it "11/29" meaning "11/28 11:59p"?
I'd really like to nominate myself, and I don't think blocking that on a poorly
communicated technicality is in the best interest of the foundation. :) Can
somebody fix things and/or let me know how nominate myself?
Thanks, js

Though it would be a problem if you leave things to less than 8h to the
deadline by west coast time.
I am concerned about Chris not being able to get in. I didn't have a problem,
but I am not using a delegated openID.
I will see if I can replicate the problem.
Chris, did this just start, or haven't you logged in for a while?
This started recently - and I may have had problems before which were
addressed. I'm guessing it has to do with RPX's approach to discovering
delegation on my site.
Here's a screencast of my experience:

FWIW, I'm able to login to disqus.net<http://disqus.net> using my OpenID
(factoryjoe.com<http://factoryjoe.com>) without issue.

I've been trying to authenticate on the foundation member site for the past two
days and have had no luck. I've been in touch with both Janrain and Darin from
Refresh to no avail. If I'm not the only one unable to authenticate with my
delegated OpenID, I wonder who else has been unable to self-nominate themselves
for the election?
This seems like a serious issue with our election proceedings.
Advise?
