In particular I see the following critical shortcomings with benefits
of Company/Organizational Membership:<br>
<ul>
<li>Display your corporate logo/name on the OpenID Foundation website
and promotional materials</li>
<li>Be eligible for inclusion in OpenID Foundation press releases and
industry events</li>
</ul>
<br>
For any corporate member this might a critical added value for becoming
a corporate foundation member of the foundation. Those are the benefits
which differ from the individual membership. When looking at the fees,
this has a hefty price too. But we haven't received them!!!</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Are you a corporate foundation member? If so, what level member are you?</div><div><br></div><div>If it's any consolation, besides the logo thing on the website, we really haven't done any promotional efforts, so besides the "Get an OpenID" page, there really aren't any other logos on the site.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd love to see something like <a href="http://djangopeople.net">djangopeople.net</a> set up for the OpenID community, but as Luke said, resources have been the major limiting factor there.</div><div>

I’m pretty sure that the maintenance of the foundation website is more
a matter of resources and lack of general consensus than a malicious
attempt to exclude.<br>

At least it should be addressed when made aware of. I've been in
contact with Bill and Don, but I wasn't able to advance our cause one
iota.<div class="im"></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Can you articulate your cause for the benefit of those unfamiliar with it?</div><div><br></div><div>Chris</div></div><br>-- <br>Chris Messina<br>Open Web Advocate<br>
