John, where are the documents being voted on? As the board has not

either. Additionally, why would we ask the membership to vote on this change

Voting will open on the following poll on 2009-10-16 -- please register your
vote before 2009-10-23.<br>

Title:<br>
IPR Policy Update v1.5<br>
<br>
Description:<br>
One of the most important responsibilities of the OpenID Foundation is its
stewardship of intellectual property; maintaining and protecting OpenID
technical protocols as they evolve. We are asking the community to vote
on a revision to our IPR policy which provides information regarding companies
who are parts of larger holding companies or other legal entities (aka
"Bound Entities"). These are the only recommended changes to
the IPR policy at this time. The updated IPR document, with the draft
changes 'tracked', can be viewed here:<br>
<a href="http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2009/09/OpenID-IPR-Policy-final-draft-v1.5.doc"><a href="http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2009/09/OpenID-IPR-Policy-final-draft-v1.5.doc">http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2009/09/OpenID-IPR-Policy-final-draft-v1.5.doc</a></a><br>
<br>
Available Choices:<br>
<br>
* Approve<br>
<br>
* Reject<br>
<br>
* Abstain<br>
<br>
<br>
You will receive another notice when the poll opens. Thank you for your
participation!<br>
