Thanks, Dick.<br><br>I ask both to clarify my own understanding, and because most of the background was to board-private, and the people on the public board list do not have the context to understand the vote in progress.<br>
<br>For observers, here's what I can recall that can be made public:<br><br>From the October 9th minutes (<a href="http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg3mt5r8_35f72k7hhg">http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg3mt5r8_35f72k7hhg</a>):<br>

</font></pre></blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"><br>On October 16th, Bill Washburn sent the membership committee proposal to the board-private mailing list in a thread "Ranked candidates for OIDF <span class="nfakPe">Board</span> membership". There began a back-and-forth dialog about how the candidates were ranked, and a discussion about whether it was important that board members implement OpenID. Opinions were expressed on both sides.<br>
<br><br>On October 21st, Dick Hardt reintroduced this motion to the board-private list:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
I motion that we accept [redacted] and [redacted] as coporate <span class="nfakPe">board</span> members and<br>
add [redacted] (presuming he accepts) as a community <span class="nfakPe">board</span> member.<br>
[redacted]'s seat will come up for election at the next election.<br></blockquote><br>(I additionally redacted the community member's name, as I don't follow the logic of partial confidentiality.)<br><br>Martin seconded the motion.<br>
<br>I asked if the motion could be split into three separate nominations. Dick replied no, that the motion stood as it was.<br><br>David voted -1 due to the "current ongoing discussion in the thread titled "Ranked candidates for OIDF <span class="nfakPe">Board</span> membership"".<br>
<br>This morning, this thread "URGENT: New Board members motion" began on the public board list.<br><br>Before we move on; Dick and others, does this match your recollection. Do you feel it provides sufficient context?<br>
