[OpenID board] International Liaison board vote

[David Recordon]

Agreed with DeWitt.  I believe there are also requirements in terms of  
notice and period of the vote in the bylaws which Dick and Scott  
looked into a month or two ago.

I also would like to see us come up with some informal guidelines  
about how much prior discussion should be allowed for before an online  
vote.  On the phone we have time to discuss a matter and I'd hate to  
see us use the online tool as a mechanism to ever cut short fruitful  
discussion –-- which I am *not* saying happened in this case –-- and  
force a vote.
