[OpenID board] OpenID Board Committees

[Brian Kissel]

Hello All,

For those of you who haven't checked out the OpenID Wiki that David created and others have updated, here is the current version.  You can see the master document at http://wiki.openid.net/2010-Planning  Your name may have been volunteered for one of the committees of committee co-chairs.  If you'd prefer not to serve in the role(s) where you show up, please let David or me know and we can remove it.  If your name isn't listed in a role where you'd like to serve, please let us know that as well.

We have a lot to cover on the first board call this coming Wednesday, so let's try to have this as up to date as possible by then.  Again, what's below is just a working document for discussion purposes.  It's up to the full board to select the officers, and while I'm not completely sure of it, I think it's up to each of the committees to select their chair/co-chairs.  Mike or David can correct me if I'm off on this.
