SUBJECT:    OpenID Representatives in the World

ATTACHED: OpenID Armenian Community

 

 

Dear Members of the Board,

 

You have appointed me in September 2007 as the OIDF European Representative
(at this stage I AM STILL THE ONLY ONE to hold this type of position within
OIDF). I am planning to leave this position soon, and to entrust it to
another person who will take my succession and will continue managing and
organizing Europe.

 

Since you have entrusted me with this function, we have reproduced exactly
the same position at the National level, for each of the European countries.

You can find a list of all 27 OpenID Representatives here:
http://www.openideurope.eu/team. This has routinely been published on the
eu at openid.net Mailing List.

As a rule, this type of position has been opened under a 1 to 2 year,
renewable agreement


We now have about a year experience, and we find this role of OpenID
representative to be efficient and essential to the local development of
OpenID. It often constitutes a first step of the establishment of a local
Chapter or of a local Community.

 

However, my question to you today is:

How do we proceed with the other countries of the world?

By this, I mean the countries beyond Europe.

For the last 2 to 3 months, I have received and studied over 15 requests
emanating from highly motivated and interested persons who have volunteered
to become the OpenID Representative for their country. This is happening in
Asia, Africa & the Middle East, and South America


As an example, I have attached the last email I received from Albert
Poghosyan, this is his candidacy to become the OpenID Armenian
Representative.

Of course, I have had the opportunity to talk with all these members over
the last few months; and I guarantee the caliber, qualifications and the
motivation of these persons.

 

The problem, simply stated, is:

We cannot use the OIDE framework to appoint African or Chinese OpenID
Representatives.

 

What do we do?

What I am proposing (but you perhaps have a better idea) is that you would
give me a “green light” to create additional OpenID Representative pages on
OpenID.net, where all the OpenID Representatives of the world are listed
(including the European ones). These newly appointed representatives would
simultaneously be posted on a mailing List (legal at openid.net?).

 

What are your views on this?

 

In advance, I thank you for your timely response, so that I can give an
answer all these people.

 

Regards,

 

Snorri

Dear Snorri,

Being the member of OpenID Europe I would like to found and develop OpenID
Armenian Community in Yerevan, Armenia.

I would like to establish community web-site at www.openid.am if it possible
and establish the community team.

Right now the main focus of this team will be development of OpenID
user-centric identity management system for eGovernment systems.

I believe that we might have concrete project for Republic of Armenia’s
Government.

Hope to establish constructive cooperation as with OpenID Europe as with
US/Canada communities.

 

Best Regards

Albert Poghosyan
