[OpenID board] [OpenID] PAPE Vote Discussion

[David Recordon]

I'm also unconvinced that the working group (which I'm a part of)  
followed the process as outlined for the work leading up to a  
membership vote.  While I tried to discuss this on the PAPE mailing  
list yesterday, Mike had the opposite interpretation and seems to have  
moved ahead anyway.  While I believe that the PAPE spec should be  
approved (and have voted to do so) I agree with Chris' concerns and  
the one I raised yesterday about the process being unclear as to if  
the WG correctly followed it or not.
