And yes, the list is marked up in hCard.

Could we get a blog post up on OpenID.net announcing that the election  is now open?


The last post on the election was about nominations being open and was  posted Dec 3.



Has the election really opened if OpenID.net never announces it? Here's  a draft if no one else can get around to it:



OpenID Foundation Board of Director  Election Now Open




The first OpenID Foundation election of community board  members opened on December 10th. All members of the OpenID Foundation are  eligible to vote for candidates. If you are not already a member of the  OpenID Foundation, you can join <https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration>  as an individual member for $25/year.



There are 17 candidates running for a total of seven seats. You may  vote only once, for as many as seven different candidates. The candidates  are (alphabetized by first name):



 *   Allen Tom <http://allentom.com/>
 *   Brian Kissel <http://bkkissel.myopenid.com/>
 *   Chris Messina <http://factoryjoe.com/>
 *   David Recordon <http://davidrecordon.com/>
 *   Dick Hardt <http://blame.ca/>
 *   Eran Hammer-Lahav <http://heuniverse.com/>
 *   Eric  Sachs <http://eric.sachs.googlepages.com/>
 *   Johannes Ernst <http://netmesh.info/jernst>
 *   John  Bradley <http://thread-safe.livejournal.com/>
 *   Joseph Smarr <http://josephsmarr.com/>
 *   Luke Shepard <http://www.facebook.com/people/Luke-Shepard/2901279>
 *   Martin  Atkins <http://mart.degeneration.co.uk/>
 *   Mike Kirkwood <http://www.kirkwood.net/>
 *   Nat Sakimura <http://www.sakimura.org/en/>
 *   Peter Nixey <http://www.webkitchen.co.uk/>
 *   Scott Kveton <http://kveton.com/>
 *   Snorri  Giorgetti <http://snorri.eu/>

All candidates listed above received the requisite three seconds to run  for the election. The four candidates who receive the most votes will serve  two year terms and the three candidates receiving the next highest numbers  of votes will serve one year terms. (This allows us to institute staggered  two-year terms going forward.)



Board membership requires a substantial ongoing investment of time and  energy. Board members will be called upon to serve both on the board and on  its committees where the work of the foundation is conducted, and to  actively contribute. The best candidates are passionate about OpenID and  advancing digital identity, will have the time to devote to community  service in this manner, and are people who gets things done and work well  with others.



Voting requires that you sign in with the OpenID that you used to  register when you joined the Foundation. If you experience problems  participating in the election or joining the foundation, please send a note  to  <mailto:membership at oidf.org> membership at oidf.org.



Voting began on December 10 and ends on Wednesday, December  24. Results will be announced by Wednesday, December 31, with the

new board terms starting the next day, on Thursday, January 1.



Upon completion of the election, the new board will elect the officers  (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) as well as the Executive  Committee.
