Hi
All,<br><br>I
can't
help
but
feel
that
this
maybe
a
good
moment
to
consider
a <br>"Frequently
asked
questions"
section
on
the
web
site.
The
question
of <br>whether
you
need
a
contribution
agreement
may
have
a
habit
of
repeating <br>itself;)<br><br>Tom<br><br><br>Mike
Jones
wrote:<br>>
You're

The

OpenID

anything.
Period.
Nothing
to
do
there.<br>><br>>
However,
the
procedures
require
contributors
to
sign
a
contributor
agreement
to
participate
in
creating
*new
specifications*.
This
is
completely
different
thing.<br>><br>>
Beyond
making
sure
that
this
information
is
clear
to
your
members,
I
don't
believe
that
there's
anything
that
OIDE
needs
to
do
here.<br>><br>>

CONTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT<br>><br>>
Important:
actually,
many
companies/websites
are
implemented
OpenID
without
read
juridical
documents
(because
they
didn't
know
that
exist)<br>><br>>
At
OIDE
we
think
to
propose
soon:<br>><br>>
A
form
with
process
during
is
necessary
to
read
all
document
(contributor,
Members,
Bylaw,
IPR...)
and
accept
a
"box"
exactly
like
a
"Terms
of
Service/use"
during
the
inscription
on
one
website.<br>><br>>
After
manual
verification
(who
is?)
and
all
documents
are
sent
within
48
hours
(in
PDF
and
is
necessary
to
sign
it).<br>><br>>
What
do
you
think?<br>><br>>

Hi.<br>><br>>
So
does
this
mean
that
there
is
no
document
to
sign
to
be
Contributor?<br>>
How
do
you
know
that
one
has
agreed
to
the
IPR
policy?<br>>
(Note:
a
contributor
does
not
even
need
to
be
a
member.)<br>><br>>
