I have already explained, many businesses in Europe and in Asia will never wish

the OIDF board election soon, in fact, is to dispel the apparent misperception
that OIDF is a US Foundation. If you have that perception, after all,
it's understandable that others would as well. Indeed, OIDF was founded
to promote and advance OpenID worldwide. The OIDF's scope is worldwide --
not US-only.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

good to have motivated and capable people elected to the board from all regions

the OpenID '09 program, but in the short term, next obvious step is for OpenID
Europe to sign the OIDF local chapters agreement so that it will be clear that
any trademarks held by OpenID Europe will be usable worldwide. Can you
make that happen soon?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

several times to the Board, it would be quite possible to set in place
something large and quite good at the global level, with a system involving
controlled sharing (this is what we are already doing in Europe with the
National Chapters), a system within which each Chapter would bring in funding
for the Foundation (meaning OIDF this time). In this way, a French company
which would become Member of OpenID France, or an Argentinean business becoming
a Member of OpenID Argentina (I use this example since the OpenID Foundation
Argentina is in the process of being incorporated in Buenos Aires) would automatically
also become a Member of OIDF.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I'd also like to have a discussion on when we're going to have the board
election. Bill told me in private conversation that the contractors may
be within days of enabling people to vote with their OpenIDs, which was the gating
factor that delayed the election when we talked about it several months
ago. I'd put this before the scope discussion in the agenda order.<br>
