Excellent progress on this. I wish I could have attended but been snowed under with SSO in the Enterprise where meetings are all the rage... will make the 7th.
Great if an EU rep can be on the OIDF and Kick sounds like an excellent person to do that.

Subject: [OpenID] A european voice within OIDF
Hello all!
At last years board election Snorri Giorgetti, who represented the
OpenID Europe Foundation was elected to the OpenID board with a very
large number of votes.
Sadly, due to various circumstances he was not able to fulfil this role
and was removed from the board shortly before this election. This has
left the OpenID Foundation without representation from Europe - and
Europe with a broken OpenID community and uncertainty about the future
direction and role of the OpenID Foundation Europe.
Fortunately more people from various European countries have stepped
forward to offer their assistance in making Europe an active part of the
OpenID community. Four people have nominated themselves for the
election, and even more people have agreed to contribute to a core team
working with the European candidate(s) that get elected.
This Thursday the group held its first phone conference. A general
agreement on various issues was confirmed and it was decided to move
forward as a group. We want to work as a community as part of the OIDF
and not focusing on setting a legal entity like the OIDE was. Therefore
the goals of the OIDF are leading in how we will contribute.
The next European Conference call will be Thursday, 7. January. Watch
out for more details on the Openid-EU list. We are looking forward to
extend the reach of OpenID within Europe and to give Europe a voice
within the OpenID Foundation.
We urge you to consider each of the European candidates. We recognize,
however, that the overall list of candidates includes a large number of
other candidates with significant merits. Therefore the participants in
the phone conference agreed to nominate Kick Willemse from Holland as
our primary European candidate. So if you have no specific preference
for any of the European candidates we jointly propose that you:
VOTE for Kick Willemse
Posted on behalf of the participants in the first European phone conference:
Henrik Biering, Denmark
Kick Willemse, Holland
Lorenzo Cassulo, Italy
Martin Paljak, Estonia
Marcin Jagodziński, Poland
Robert Ott, Switzerland
Simon Josefsson, Sweden
Zdravko Stoychev, Bulgaria
