It does seem to me that we will benefit from working together in the most collaborative and global way possible. In all of my experience, the simpler the global membership model the better for everyone. My three most salient earlier organizational experiences with ICANN, XDI.org, and CIX stand in stark contrast because of distinctions in complexity.<br><br>cheers,<br>-bill<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@cordance.net><br>To: board@openid.net<br>Cc: Christophe Ducamp

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">You
finalize the OIDF Member Agreement and congratulation you,</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
opportunity to inform you of operation in Europe:</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
know now the effectiveness of “OpenID local chapter” (For large
countries who do not speak English)</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For
example in France, “OpenID France” (Christophe Ducamp ) was created
=> </span></font><span lang="FR"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.openid.asso.fr"><span lang="EN-US">www.openid.asso.fr</span></a> </span>=> NPO of French law.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">OpenID
France already has received several Members Agreement (French MA = easier than
OIDF = only 1/2 pages) and is directly related to “OpenID Europe”
(OIDE) => NPO of Belgium law.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
experiment will continue soon in other EU Countries but the France is a model.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
goal is to simplify the differents initiatives depending on the EU country and
to have a single operating model </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thus
OpenID Europe should become OIDF Member but off course his contribution will be
greater than that fixed by the</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">“Membership
Application” (NPO)</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">To
resume, in general, I think that it is important now to think now and sign a
document between OIDF and OIDE about our mission statement. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">What
do you think?</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I’m
at your disposal to give more information</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Cheers</span></font></p>
