Hey Scott,<div><br></div><div>Can you remind me (or point me to the section of the bylaws) regarding how committees are created? Do I simply need to add "User Experience" to the committees wiki page and offer to chair it?</div>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Welcome to 2009! Hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve!<br>
<br>
With 5 new members of the OIDF BOD joining us as of today, this is as<br>
good a time as any to look at the makeup of the existing committees<br>
and where we need to a) fill in gaps and b) create new committees to<br>
help facilitate solutions to some of the problems we're seeing with<br>
OpenID in the marketplace.<br>
<br>
Please take a look at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openid.net/Committees" target="_blank">http://wiki.openid.net/Committees</a><br>
<br>
To see who is on what committees, etc. There is no requirement that<br>
you have to be a board member to participate in a committee; any OIDF<br>
member can participate in committees. Please see if there are any<br>
committees you'd like to participate in and sign-up on the wiki.<br>
<br>
Two areas of concern we discussed in 2008 were around Usability and<br>
Security. There has been a lot of work on UX with the meeting at<br>
Yahoo! a few months back. We also voted to create a security<br>
committee back in September but we haven't set any goals or outlined<br>
plans there yet.<br>
<br>
We currently have Anthony Nadalin as the chair of the security<br>
committee along with John Bradley who has agreed to participate. I'd<br>
like to volunteer to chair the security committee for the next year<br>
and hopefully drive some initiatives that will answer questions in the<br>
marketplace.<br>
<br>
I would love to see someone else step up and form the UX committee as<br>
well to help address concerns around usability with OpenID.<br>
<br>
- Scott<br>
