[OpenID board] 4 spec process improvement board votes - results are in

Thu Jan 29 23:57:54 UTC 2009

Hmmm. While this option sounds attractive, we might want to take two phased
approach.
I have just made motions for the urgent things. If we start requirement
gathering at this stage, it will delay these changes.

So, my proposal is to do what the board vote approved in parallel to the
longer term ammendment with requirement gatherings. (BTW, there are bunch of
things that I want to list under this mid-term project.)

I will draft the ammendment to the Process document this weekend.

One of the motion is unrelated to the Process document, but to assign the
committee liaison the power to take an initiative to facilitate and advance
the specs process. i.e., David is now officially empowered to chase down the
specs council members as well as to help out the proposers so that the
process goes as quick as it can.

I have not seen much progress on OpenID+OAuth hybrid and CX specs council
process. I hope this will improve the situation.
