<p align=center style='text-align:center'><strong><b><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>OIDF Local Chapters
Policy</span></font></b></strong><span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>1 -
Independent Organizations<br>
</span></font></u>Local Chapters ("Chapters") are independent of the
OpenID Foundation ("OIDF") itself and thus can either be informal
organizations or formal legal entities, which is a decision left to the Chapter
organizers.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>2 -
Registration<br>
</span></font></u>Organizations must apply to the OIDF for recognition as a
Local Chapter by sending an email to <span lang=FR><a
href="mailto:board@openid.net" target="_blank"><span lang=EN-US>board@openid.net</span></a></span>.
In this email, Chapters must signify their agreement to the terms of this
policy and supply: a) contact information for the organizers, b) the URL that
the OIDF should use when listing the chapter, c) a description of the region or
community that the organization serves, and d) the name of the chapter.<span
lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>3 -
Members<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters will clearly inform their members and prospective
members that membership in the Local Chapter does not grant them membership in
the OIDF and will encourage their members to also join OIDF.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>4 - Leadership
Team<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters must be headed by a designated leadership team,
composed of at least three people.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>5 -
Internet Site<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters should have their own web site, listing events and
news. This Chapter-sponsored web site is the responsibility of the chapter
organizers, not of the OIDF staff or volunteers.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>6 -
Intellectual Property<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters must agree that any intellectual property or
trademarks developed or held by the Chapter must be freely available for use to
the OpenID Community; in particular, they must agree that any intellectual
property or trademarks developed or held by the local chapter must either be
owned by OIDF, jointly owned by the OIDF, or licensed to the OIDF under terms
that allow OIDF to use them in whatever way it sees fit, including sublicensing
to others under terms of its choosing. The one exception to this policy
is that a Chapter may have a Chapter logo or mark that is only available to
members of that Chapter, provided that that logo or mark does not infringe the
OpenID trademark.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>7 -
Purpose<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters must agree that all Chapter activities are focused
on fostering the widespread adoption and use of OpenID and in support of the
OIDF's mission statement.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>8 -
Financing<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters must operate independently, with no expectation of
receiving funds from OIDF. However, they may apply to the OIDF board for
funding of specific activities or events, and these requests will be considered
on their merits.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>9 -
Activities Report<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters must exhibit "liveness". At least every
year the Chapter's leaders must report to the Local Chapters Committee on their
chapter activities. Meetings are good. Evidence of an active mailing list
is sufficient.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>10 -
Listing of Chapters<br>
</span></font></u>OIDF will list the Chapters on <a href="http://openid.net/"
target="_blank">openid.net</a> in a geographically organized list, providing
contact information and links to the Chapter sites.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>11 -
Nondiscriminatory Acceptance<br>
</span></font></u>All proposed Chapters agreeing to abide by the Local Chapters
Policy will be accepted as Local Chapters by the OIDF.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>12 -
Territories<br>
</span></font></u>OIDF will recognize any proposed eligible Local Chapters,
regardless of the geographic scope of the chapter, including chapters with
overlapping territories and missions.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>13 -
Non-Exclusive Relationships<br>
</span></font></u>Chapters are free to maintain relationships and partnerships
with other organizations and to maintain their own memberships, provided that
the purpose and conduct of those relationships is consistent with this Local
Chapters Policy.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>14 -
Local Chapters Committee<br>
</span></font></u>OIDF may authorize a Local Chapters Committee. This committee
must be composed of at least one Chapter leader and at least one OIDF board
member.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>15 -
Chapter Removal<br>
</span></font></u>If a Chapter has violated the Chapters Policy (e.g.: if a
Chapter does not report its activities or pursues activities in conflict with
its mission to promote OpenID) and the violation has not been corrected and
completely resolved within 3 months after written notice by OIDF, OIDF can
remove that Chapter from its listings. The OIDF Board may delegate the
authority to de-list a chapter with cause to the Local Chapters
Committees. A Chapter may appeal the committee's decision to the
board. A Chapter may also request to be de-listed.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><u><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>16 -
Changes to the Local Chapters Policy<br>
</span></font></u>If the OIDF alters the Local Chapters Policy it will notify
Local Chapter leaders of the change. Following notification, the Local Chapter
leaders will have 90 days to reply to the Local Chapters Committee either
accepting the revised policy or stating why they are unwilling to operate under
the revised policy. Should they not accept the revised policy, the OIDF will
record the policy version under which the Chapter was admitted and allow that
chapter to continue operating under that policy, except in cases where the
board determines that substantial legal risk or financial harm would be
incurred by the OIDF or that damage to OpenID would result. Failure to
formally opt out of the revised policy within 90 days of the change will be
deemed acceptance of the new policy.<span lang=FR><o:p></o:p></span></p>
