Thanks Drummond for asking about this. Obviously it will be valuable to
get this done and I recall the Board expressed the determination to make this
happen in the first part of 2008. I will certainly be the
coordinator, editor, facilitator and such.<br>

of Google, one of the proposers of the proposed PAPE working group, pointed

to hire a writer to organize our IPR docs and create a simple,

One more thought -- Mike and I both thought it be worth hiring a writer (unless
you want to tackle it) to write up a short, plain-English summary of the OpenID
IPR process (and a FAQ) and put it on (or link it prominently to) the <a
href="http://openid.net/foundation/intellectual-property/" target="_blank">http://openid.net/foundation/intellectual-property/</a>
page so that we all have someplace to point folks to when they ask how it
works.<br>
<br>
After all, shepherding OpenID IPR is one of our main jobs.<br>
<br>
Will you add this to the task list? I'm happy to make a motion that the board
authorize a small amount to pay a writer to do this.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

Mike,<br>
<br>
Just a note that I think Ben's right -- as best I can tell (from what I looked
over), there's no documentation of the OpenID workgroup process.<br>
<br>
Is this the kind of thing we should ask Bill to do? Or at least to contract
out? (This is the kind of thing I know Charles could do for ICF, but Bill has a
different skillset...)<br>
<br>
One good writer for the OIDF website would go a loooong ways...<br>

It could be better organized, but the OIDF is working on that.<br>
<br>
AFAICS that page does not document the WG process.<br>
