[OpenID board] Unable to authenticate, therefore unable to nominate myself

Tue Nov 30 04:40:01 UTC 2010

Because I'm a candidate, I'm going to stay out of this other than to suggest that all people who are candidates or might be candidates should likewise recuse themselves from participating in any decisions about whether to alter the outcome of the nomination process or not.

I do believe that altering the outcome of the nomination process is a significant enough thing to do that any such decision should be undertaken only with a majority vote of the board, but again, I'll leave that up to those of you who are not candidates or potential candidates to decide.

Mailman bounced this email  originated by Brian Kissel.  I'm forwarding to the list for Brian...

Don, can you please advise?  I don't think it's our desire to block folks due to confusion on the specific time the nominations were to close.  Also, I'd guess a number of folks would like time to second the nominations of individuals who nominated themselves late in the cycle.  To remove any confusion, can we keep nominations open through the end of the day PST tomorrow?

Mike, you've been great at advising all of us on our obligations per the bylaws, what do you suggest?

Cheers, Brian

I was planning to nominate myself for the board tonight (was busy with family over the weekend), but the UI to nominate myself has gone away. I thought today (11/29) was the last day to nominate myself. Is that GMT or something weird? Or was it "11/29" meaning "11/28 11:59p"?

I'd really like to nominate myself, and I don't think blocking that on a poorly communicated technicality is in the best interest of the foundation. :) Can somebody fix things and/or let me know how nominate myself?

Thanks, js

I seem to recall that the web site is using UTC for running ballots etc.   I suppose that we had to pick a timezone and that is as good as any.

Though it would be a problem if you leave things to less than 8h to the deadline by west coast time.

I am concerned about Chris not being able to get in.   I didn't have a problem,  but I am not using a delegated openID.

I will see if I can replicate the problem.

Chris, did this just start,  or haven't you logged in for a while?

This started recently - and I may have had problems before which were addressed. I'm guessing it has to do with RPX's approach to discovering delegation on my site.

Here's a screencast of my experience:

FWIW, I'm able to login to disqus.net<http://disqus.net> using my OpenID (factoryjoe.com<http://factoryjoe.com>) without issue.

I just logged onto the site to self nominate, and I don't see the button/link there anymore. It is still the 11/29th is it not?

btw: I was able to login fine

I've been trying to authenticate on the foundation member site for the past two days and have had no luck. I've been in touch with both Janrain and Darin from Refresh to no avail. If I'm not the only one unable to authenticate with my delegated OpenID, I wonder who else has been unable to self-nominate themselves for the election?

This seems like a serious issue with our election proceedings.

Advise?

Chris
