Hey David, this is good, also you need to <div>1) show a roadmap</div><div>2) there must be some visible leadership. I mean look at Eran Hammer Lahav at Open Web, and XRI TC, he is very visible. </div><div>Other wise the impression you are giving is that nothing is going on here.</div>

Forwarding these three posts from the General list. Not because I agree with all of the sentiments expressed, but because it shows how we as a board and organization are clearly not being transparent enough in the activities that are actually being taken on.<br>
<br>
Two ideas I think that we should seriously consider are:<br>
1) making use of a project management tool like Basecamp (<a href="http://www.basecamphq.com/" target="_blank">http://www.basecamphq.com/</a>) so that at least the entire board and Don know the status of each project that is underway<br>
2) having Don write a monthly blog post about OpenID's achievements the past month and what the Foundation has accomplished<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>

Hehe! Shade for once I am going to agree with you.<br>
Why do we have a chairman? Isnt he supposed to be leading the flock and<br>
showing the way?<br>
And what about the rest of the board. This is the "coldest" board I have<br>
ever seen.<br>
I think Eran Hammer should have been the chairman of the board! I wonder why<br>
he disappeared from here 2 yrs back. (I have seen some posts from him from<br>
2007).<br>

Perhaps it will arrive after Chris Messina's "Policy Expression<br>

Inaction, or so it may appear; timely, though?<br>

Half the Identity folk have moved on to Kantara Initiative.<br>

XRI TC has tied itself in knots.<br>

Sounds like good separation of duties to me. If the rest of us can<br>
still interop (and work is still being done that *needs* to be done<br>
before we can move forward), it doesn't really matter where most of<br>
the various communities is doing that work.<br>

If the development of OpenID were to halt now, I think it would be<br>
Federated implementations that found themselves hardest hit; small,<br>
independent operators such as myself (working with libraries already<br>
distributed "in the wild") might not even notice.<br>
