[OpenID board] Unable to authenticate, therefore unable to nominate myself

Tue Nov 30 04:26:38 UTC 2010

Mailman bounced this email  originated by Brian Kissel.  I'm forwarding
to the list for Brian...

Don, can you please advise?  I don't think it's our desire to block
folks due to confusion on the specific time the nominations were to
close.  Also, I'd guess a number of folks would like time to second the
nominations of individuals who nominated themselves late in the cycle.
To remove any confusion, can we keep nominations open through the end of
the day PST tomorrow?

Mike, you've been great at advising all of us on our obligations per the
bylaws, what do you suggest?

Cheers, Brian

I was planning to nominate myself for the board tonight (was busy with
family over the weekend), but the UI to nominate myself has gone away. I
thought today (11/29) was the last day to nominate myself. Is that GMT
or something weird? Or was it "11/29" meaning "11/28 11:59p"? 

I'd really like to nominate myself, and I don't think blocking that on a
poorly communicated technicality is in the best interest of the
foundation. :) Can somebody fix things and/or let me know how nominate
myself?

Thanks, js

I seem to recall that the web site is using UTC for running ballots etc.
I suppose that we had to pick a timezone and that is as good as any.

Though it would be a problem if you leave things to less than 8h to the
deadline by west coast time.

I am concerned about Chris not being able to get in.   I didn't have a
problem,  but I am not using a delegated openID.

I will see if I can replicate the problem.  

Chris, did this just start,  or haven't you logged in for a while?

This started recently - and I may have had problems before which were
addressed. I'm guessing it has to do with RPX's approach to discovering
delegation on my site. 

Here's a screencast of my experience:

FWIW, I'm able to login to disqus.net using my OpenID (factoryjoe.com)
without issue.

I just logged onto the site to self nominate, and I don't see the
button/link there anymore. It is still the 11/29th is it not?

btw: I was able to login fine

I've been trying to authenticate on the foundation member site for the
past two days and have had no luck. I've been in touch with both Janrain
and Darin from Refresh to no avail. If I'm not the only one unable to
authenticate with my delegated OpenID, I wonder who else has been unable
to self-nominate themselves for the election?

This seems like a serious issue with our election proceedings.

Advise?

Chris
