shown their leadership by hosting the Content Provider Advisory Committee

work with NPR (who was also at the NYC session) to see if we can get BBC, NPR,
PBS, and CBC to collaborate on OpenID enablement initiatives. And in any
case, we need some large representative RPs on the BOD. As I’ve said

finished the discussion about how to proceed with a full five new corporate
board members, timed that around the hiring of the new ED, and ideally
scheduled all of it around the election of new community members. With
those three pieces in place we then could make a coordinated engagement on all
three. Four pieces, in fact, as we can count the CRC in there as well.<br>
<br>
I share your frustration, Dick, and I agree that sometimes a vote makes a good
forcing function. It's taken far too long to get where we are, and I
happen to concur that those were fine nominees. And I especially welcome
Brian's continued leadership in any case.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this is the kick in the pants we need to close in expediently on the
missing pieces. And then I'd welcome seeing this come up for a vote again
in the near future.<br>

Subject: [OpenID board] URGENT: New Board members motion<br>
Importance: High<br>
<br>
<br>
(this motion was originally posted on the board-private list to<br>
protect the confidentiality of the potential corporate board members<br>
-- reposting to public list to provide transparency to community)<br>
<br>
Background:<br>
<br>
There are two corporations that have expressed interest in joining the<br>
OpenID Foundation for the last six months. The board approved adding 5<br>
new corporate board seats, to be balanced with community seats so that<br>
the community seats have a majority.<br>
Brian Kissel has been active on the marketing committee and the<br>
customer research committee. He organized a gathering of content<br>
providers in NY that led to the OpoenID UX summit last Monday.<br>
The primary source of funding for the Foundation is corporate board<br>
seats. In order to fund a new Executive Director and OpenID adoption<br>
initiatives, we need more funding. The patience of the two<br>
corporations is running thin as they have been waiting for far to long<br>
for a decision from the board.<br>
<br>
The motion: Add the two corporate board seats and add Brian Kissel as<br>
the community seat. Brian's seat (like all other community board<br>
seats) would be up for re-election when we hold an election.<br>
<br>
All board members need to vote or abstain for the motion to be<br>
considered.<br>
<br>
Votes to date:<br>
<br>
+1 Dick Hardt (made motion)<br>
+1 Martin Atkins (seconded motion)<br>
-1 David Recordon<br>
