(from Nomura Research Institute, and <a href="http://xdi.org/" target="_blank">XDI.ORG</a>).<br><br>Among other things, here are our concensus:<br><br>1. Japanese organization should start as the Japan Chapter of OpenID<br>
Foundation.<br> (i.e., no legal entity but a virtual chapter of OIDF as Seki-san<br>suggested in<br> the previous mail.). Thus, to join Japan Chapter, it has to be a<br>member of<br> OIDF, thus policies around IPR, trademark, membership, etc would also<br>
apply to<br> them.<br><br> Its primary purpose includes:<br> - Promotion of OpenID in Japan through:<br> - Preparation of Japanese translation of the SPECs.<br> - Preparation of Introductory Materials to End users explaining<br>
- How to use OpenID<br> - Why using OpenID is good.<br> - Establishing working groups to discuss issues including<br>Japanese specific ones.<br> - Press Relations<br> - Feedback to OpenID Foundation on the findings and requests from<br>
Japanese market.<br><br>2. We should target at annoucing it on Feb.28, when David comes to Japan.<br> Outline of the proposed announcement is being prepared right now.<br><br>3. For this to happen, obviously, we need OpenID Foundation's endorsment.<br>
Also, OIDF's assistance to encourage Japanese entities of those<br>Corporate Board<br> comapnies to join Japan Chapter is sought.<br><br>4. In pararell to 3. , we start recruiting the Japanese members.<br><br>Bill, if the boards are ok with these, could you kindly follow up<br>
especially with<br>item 3. above, please?<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Nat Sakimura (=nat)<br><a href="http://www.sakimura.org/en/" target="_blank">http://www.sakimura.org/en/</a><br></font>
