proposed revised local chapters policy is below. You can compare it to
the existing local chapters policy in force at <a
href="http://openid.net/foundation/chapters/">http://openid.net/foundation/chapters/</a>.
This has been developed with a lot of input from Snorri and Nat (thanks guys!)
and should enable us to have both OpenID Europe and OpenID <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Japan</st1:place></st1:country-region> sign on
as local chapters. Please consider this before the board meeting on
Thursday, as I plan to have us vote on it then.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
