Hi Nat,
Thanks for this report. An excellent beginning, it seems clear. I realize that very likely we might do well to start considering a few regional chapters in North America this year:
Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area,
Portland/Seattle/Vancouver,
Oklahoma/Texas
Boston/New York/Washington, D.C.
???
okay, it's getting late...
cheers,
-bill

All-
We
had
a
very
productive
meeting
this
morning
in
Tokyo,
with
Seki-san
of
SixApart,
Sakamoto-san
and
Ishikawa-san
of
Verisign
Japan
and
myself
(from
Nomura
Research
Institute,
and
XDI.ORG).
Among
other
things,
here
are
our
concensus:
1.
Japanese
organization
should
start
as
the
Japan
Chapter
of
OpenID
Foundation.
(i.e.,
no
legal
entity
but
a
virtual
chapter
of
OIDF
as
Seki-san
suggested
in
the
previous
mail.).
Thus,
to
join
Japan
Chapter,
it
has
to
be
a
member
of
OIDF,
thus
policies
around
IPR,
trademark,
membership,
etc
would
also
apply
to
them.
Its
primary
purpose
includes:
-
Promotion
of
OpenID
in
Japan
through:
-
Preparation
of
Japanese
translation
of
the
SPECs.
-
Preparation
of
Introductory
Materials
to
End
users
explaining
-
How
to
use
OpenID
-
Why
using
OpenID
is
good.
-
Establishing
working
groups
to
discuss
issues
including
Japanese
specific
ones.
-
Press
Relations
-
Feedback
to
OpenID
Foundation
on
the
findings
and
requests
from
Japanese
market.
2.
We
should
target
at
annoucing
it
on
Feb.28,
when
David
comes
to
Japan.
Outline
of
the
proposed
announcement
is
being
prepared
right
now.
3.
For
this
to
happen,
obviously,
we
need
OpenID
Foundation's
endorsment.
Also,
OIDF's
assistance
to
encourage
Japanese
entities
of
those
Corporate
Board
comapnies
to
join
Japan
Chapter
is
sought.
4.
In
pararell
to
3.
,
we
start
recruiting
the
Japanese
members.
Bill,
if
the
boards
are
ok
with
these,
could
you
kindly
follow
up
especially
with
item
3.
above,
please?
Regards,
--
