[OpenID] Several Questions for the Current & Future Board

[Eran Hammer-Lahav]

I would like to see the OIDF reuse as much as possible from Apache. They have a pretty sophisticate election process (which from what I hear can use some better "data entry" tools) and they have figured out the security and privacy behind it. Personally, I don't care much about the privacy of my own vote, and I tend to trust the two individuals with these powers today (mostly because they will most likely lose their jobs if anyone finds out they abused this power while representing their companies). But I clearly see the image issue and the fact this does bug a lot of people and deserves to be properly addressed.
