possible to set in place something large and quite good at the global level,

bring in funding for the Foundation (meaning OIDF this time). In this way, a
French company which would become Member of OpenID France, or an Argentinean
business becoming a Member of OpenID Argentina (I use this example since the
OpenID Foundation Argentina is in the process of being incorporated in Buenos

Towards that end it might be very helpful to have an update as to the current
Membership list/count.<br>

I'd also like to have a discussion on when we're going to have the board
election. Bill told me in private conversation that the contractors may
be within days of enabling people to vote with their OpenIDs, which was the
gating factor that delayed the election when we talked about it several months
ago. I'd put this before the scope discussion in the agenda order.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
