[OpenID board] Fwd: [OpenID] OpenID Board Election

[David Recordon]

Hey all,
I'm glad this email got out so that we're pushing ahead, but am  
curious if everything on the to-do list got knocked out already for  
the membership tool?  Are we currently confident in the ability for  
new members to register?  I'm seeing what seems like a bug? when I go  
to edit my contact information that it doesn't fill in my current  
OpenID,  Most of the copy changes I suggested last week don't seem to  
have made it in.

So, not trying to impede progress just wanting to make sure that the  
known issues have been taken care of and tested.

> The OpenID Foundation is holding its first election of community  
> board members starting today.  All members of the OpenID Foundation  
> are eligible to nominate themselves, second the nominations of  
> others who self-nominated, and vote for candidates.  If you’re not  
> already a member of the OpenID Foundation, we encourage you to join  
> at https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration.
>
> Board participation requires a substantial ongoing investment of  
> time and energy and is a commitment that should not be undertaken  
> lightly.  Rather, should you be elected, expect to be called upon to  
> serve both on the board and on its committees where the work of the  
> foundation is conducted, and to actively contribute.  That being  
> said however, if you’re passionate about OpenID and advancing  
> digital identity, have the time to devote to community service in  
> this manner, and are a person who gets things done and works well  
> with others, we welcome your candidacy for the OpenID board of  
> directors.
>
> Voting and nominations are conducted using the OpenID you registered  
> when you joined the Foundation.  Log in at https://openid.net/foundation/members/with 
>  that OpenID to participate in the election.  You should have also  
> received instructions on how to participate in a separate note from membership at oidf.org 
>  if you’re already a member.  If you experience problems  
> participating in the election or joining the foundation, please send  
> a note to membership at oidf.org.

> Seven community directors are being elected to the board.  The four  
> candidates receiving the most votes will serve 2 year terms and the  
> three candidates receiving the next numbers of votes will serve 1  
> year terms.  (This allows us to institute staggered 2-year terms  
> going forward.)  In order to be eligible for election, your  
> candidacy must have been seconded by at least three other members.
