the Board and five persons selected by the then-current OpenID Authentication
2.0 Specification Editors. The members of the Specifications Council will
serve for two year terms (although one of the initial members selected by the
Board and two of the initial members selected by the Editors of the OpenID
Authentication 2.0 Specification will serve for only a one year term – as
selected by consensus of the Specifications Council – so that
Specifications Council membership terms may be staggered). There are no
“term limits” for Specifications Council membership, and the Board
or Eligible Editors, as applicable, may re-select the same persons to serve for
more than one term (consecutive or otherwise).<b><span style='font-weight:bold'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

The Specifications Council will review each proposal within 15 days after

statement of the rationale for its recommendation (including any findings or
opinions by the Specifications Council regarding the criteria for rejection in
the following clauses (a)-(d). The decision to accept or reject the proposal will then promptly be submitted
to a vote of the OIDF membership, in accordance with the voting procedures in
§3.<o:p></o:p></p>
