thank you for your proactive efforts to help improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of our spec process. As I understand it, the board needs to
vote on your motions, then present to the membership for approval. I
second all four of Nat’s motions below for a vote by the
board.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi. <BR><BR>After having worked through PAPE 1.0 spec
process, as well as some other spec proposals, I noticed that there can be
several things that we can do to smooth the process. I think they were
worthwhile excercises to find out these glitches. <BR><BR>Followings are the
proposed motions that I would like the board to consider. There are two types:
one that can take effect immediately, and one that requires board and membership
voting. <BR><BR><B>I. For immediate implementation of the current process:
</B><BR><BR>One of the obstacles that we have found during the process was that
it was kind of hard to get the specs council to deliver the recommendation in a
timely fashion. It has seen some improvement recently, but we want to make sure
to continue it. Thus, I would like to propose the following: <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><BR><B><I>BE IT RESOLVED that the
OIDF Committee Liason is directed to act as the coordinator for the
specification council so that specification council create a recommendation for
the membership about a formal working group proposal within 15 days of the
complete proposal being circulated on <A href="mailto:specs@openid.net"
target=_blank>specs@openid.net</A> to comply to the current OpenID process.
</I></B><BR><BR><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>II. Improvements of curent porcess</B><BR><BR>As a longer
term solution, I would like to propose the following three motions. The first
two are to make sure the timely and effective response from the specs council,
and the last one is to protect the OpenID(TM) as well as to make it easier to
create a WG so that all the discussion will be done inside the WG and the output
is IPR clean. <o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><B><I><BR>BE IT RESOLVED that the
members of OpenID Foundation board have agreed to amend the OpenID process
document so that should the specifications council not create a recommendation
for the membership about a formal working group proposal within 15 days of the
complete proposal being circulated on <A href="mailto:specs@openid.net"
target=_blank>specs@openid.net</A>, then the proposal may proceed to a
membership vote for approval. </I></B><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><B><I>BE IT RESOLVED that the
members of OpenID Foundation board have agreed to amend the OpenID process
document so that should specs council members not participate in the discussion
of two consecutive working group proposals, they will be deemed to have
resigned, and new specs council members who are committed to participating in
the process will be appointed to replace them.</I></B><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><B><I>BE IT RESOLVED that the members of OpenID Foundation
board have agreed to amend the OpenID process document to clarify that no draft
may claim OpenID trademark until it is ratified to be an implementor's draft
status or full specification status. </I></B><BR><BR>Please note that these
consitute the core decision for IPR and process, so it will have to go through
the membership vote as well after creating the actual errata. <BR><BR>Cheers,
