[OpenID board] OpenID Update: Orientation Briefing Feedback

[Allen Tom]

Given that adoption depends on RPs actually adopting OpenID, I think it¹s
important that we visibly demonstrate to the community that RPs (or at least
potential RPs) have a voice.

>> OIDF by laws.

>> Board Action Item:
>> Please let me know if you are unable to make the teleconference on the 20th
