I'm all for that, let's make this as administratively efficient for the board and the membership as possible.  When are we likely to have those other changes ready for vote?

Cheers,

Brian

Given that there are some other things we'd like to amend to the IPR Process, should we try to capture the entire list of changes we wish to make so we only need to do this once?

OK thanks Mike.  Do we have a "members" email address to start the membership notification period?

We can not amend the process doc without a membership vote, and the following criteria being met, as per section 3.4 of the process:

*          21 day notice period
*          Multiple electronic notice required (if the OIDF member has provided multiple addresses), including to a "legal contact," if provided
*          Prominent posting (at least 21 days in advance of the beginning of the voting period) on homepage of OIDF website
*          7 day voting period after end of notice period (if vote is not taken at a properly-noticed meeting)
*          OIDF members may designate a proxy from the member's registered OpenID identifier specifying the designated proxy's OpenID identifier
*          Any approved change is prospective only
*          Approval of a change requires either of the following:
Approval Option 1
o    Quorum of greater of 60% of OIDF membership or 30 OIDF members (no bypass option) and
o    Supermajority vote of those constituting a quorum, plus a majority concurrence by the OIDF Board
Approval Option 2
o    Quorum of greater of 30% of OIDF membership or 30 OIDF members (no bypass option) and
o    Majority vote of those constituting a quorum, plus a supermajority concurrence by the entire OIDF Board (where "absents" and "abstains" count as "no" votes)
Any change to the IPR Policy or Processes will not be effective until 21 days after approval, during which time then-current Contributors may withdraw in accordance with the IPR Policy or Processes as they existed prior to the change

Nat could produce an updated draft of the doc (which should have tracked changes on relative to the approved version) for legal membership review prior to the vote, but none of this can go into effect until the membership vote has occurred and met the criteria above.

                                                                -- Mike

Thanks to everyone for your timely voting.  While the polls are still open, all 4 of the motions made by Nat have passed.  Nat can you take care of modifying the OpenID process document?

Cheers,

Brian
