<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">At the next full
board meeting we plan to vote to appoint Nat as Vice-Chair and Mike Ozburn as
Treasurer. We propose that Nat continue to act as international Liaison
until after the next election occurs. In the context of international
interest in OpenID, Don reported that a number of non-US governments have
contacted him and asked for information about other potential government
adoptions of OpenID.</p>

Government Initiative Update</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">John Bradley
is continuing to work on the profiles, despite no longer being compensated by
the OIDF, nor to our knowledge, by the ICF. Don is trying to arrange for
some government funding to be directed to John, to assure continuity of the
effort.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Vivek Kundra
has informed Don that some additional pilot sites are being considered, some
under the auspices of the White House and some not. Furthermore, some may
be at higher levels of assurance.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Progress is
occurring on the trust framework development process. We are continuing
to do this work jointly with the ICF, both to share resources, and to draw upon
additional expertise to support our efforts. In particular, we need legal
help on a volunteer basis. We will be sharing this effort with the Center
for Democracy, among others, next week in DC. Don will also be talking
with Brett McDowell of Kantara about potential collaboration opportunities in
this area as well. We want our trust framework provider application to be
general enough to be applicable in contexts outside US Government uses, if
possible.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">One measure
of the US Government’s commitment to this effort that we will be closely monitoring
is whether the government funds additional pilot projects and John
Bradley’s efforts. As they say, “money talks”.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Our web site
was updated, thanks to hard work by Chris Messina. There was a consensus
that the full board should pass a motion officially thanking Chris for his

updated versions of the Bylaws and IPR documents to approve at the next full
board meeting. Don committed to getting versions ready for votes to the

has collected and will be publishing an inventory of existing signed IPR
