> *2. **2010 OIDF Priorities Poll*
>
> The board discussed the results of a poll on OIDF priorities for next
> year. The results will be posted to the public board list. One observation
> made was that none of the specification work made the top tier, which may
> simply reflect the reality that specification work is the job of working
> groups – not the board. Don will be using the data as an input to his
> planning process for next year.

> *3. **OP Capabilities List*

> Brian reported on an OP Capabilities list that’s been put up at

> Several agreed that, while useful as-is, it would be more useful if this

> *4. **Update on IPR Vote and Election Nominations*
>
> The IPR vote currently has 62 votes, with 48 in favor and 4 abstaining. We
> need 101 votes to reach quorum for the vote to pass. The board approved
> extending the vote deadline from this Friday to the following one. Brian
> will send a note to the membership about the importance of voting.
>
>
>
> Currently there are four nominees for the six open community board seats.
> Nominations will close on December 7th. Several current board members
> still need to self-nominate if they want to stand for re-election.

>
> Don reports that several additional companies have approached us about
> potential sustaining memberships.

> *5. **Budget Update*
>
> Don reported that the financial status of the OpenID Foundation is sound. A
> budget update that he circulated to the board contained these points:
>
> · Legal expenses related to nonprofit status renewal, bylaws, IPR
> and certification have been more costly than anticipated.
>
> · Renewals of sustaining and corporate memberships are on plan
> with one exception. We expect that payment shortly.
>
> · Two new qualified prospective sustaining members may join. We
> expect to confirm same before year end.
>
> · We plan a comprehensive financial discussion in the new year to
> orient new board members and as part of our budget planning and strategy
> review,
>
>
>
> *6. **Joint Steering Committee Update*
>
> The joint steering committee will meet again tomorrow and is making
> substantial progress in evaluating our certification options. A RFP
> document has been circulated to potential certification partners. A first
> draft of a whitepaper on trust frameworks jointly authored by Don Thibeau,
> Drummond Reed, Mary Rundle, and Eve Maler has been finished. The trust
> frameworks work is receiving substantial attention from other organizations
> and application areas.
