Before we move too far away from Thanksgiving; I wanted to acknowledge Mike<br>
Jones for a year of service as secretary to the OpenID Board and community.<br>
Mike keeps us honest and on track as much more than a scribe but the<br>
Foundation's institutional memory and go-to guy for guidance on a wide range<br>
of issues.<br>
Mike's thorough and detailed Board meeting minutes are an unheralded but<br>
essential part of the information sharing and transparency vital to our<br>
success.<br>

<br>
[This meeting was held in person at the Computer History Museum immediately<br>
following the Internet Identity Workshop.]<br>
<br>
<br>
1. Election<br>
Per last year's election results at<br>
<a href="http://openid.net/2008/12/27/openid-board-election-results/" target="_blank">http://openid.net/2008/12/27/openid-board-election-results/</a>, Snorri<br>
Giorgetti, Nat Sakimura, Chris Messina, and David Recordon were elected to<br>
two year terms as community board members, which end at the end of 2010.<br>
The terms of the remaining community board members, Brian Kissel, Scott<br>
Kveton, Allen Tom, and Joseph Smarr will end at the end of this year. Five<br>
community board seats will need to be filled during the upcoming election<br>
because of the addition of Booz Allen Hamilton as a sustaining corporate<br>
board member.<br>
<br>
Don Thibeau will chair the election committee and Mike Jones will also serve<br>
on it. Don will publicize the election by the end of next week.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. Organization lifecycle review presentation by Deepak Kamlani,<br>
Global Inventures CEO<br>
Deepak strongly recommends that we evolve the foundation's business model<br>
such that we can obtain at least $1,000,000 as a recurring annual revenue<br>
stream. Otherwise, he believes we will have insufficient resources to<br>
conduct many activities that we would ideally want to pursue. A discussion<br>
ensued about how to introduce additional membership tiers at different price<br>
points, and how to provide significant value to members at all membership<br>
levels. Having a $1,000,000 budget is practically needed to be able to have<br>
a significant enough range of offerings to provide differentiated value to<br>
members at different levels. Deepak's experience is that board size should<br>
be capped at 15. He understands the huge value we're currently deriving<br>
from volunteer work by board members and others, but also cautioned us that<br>
relying heavily on volunteers to produce the organization's results is not a<br>
sustainable strategy.<br>
<br>
Brian and Don took an action item to produce recommendations for how to<br>
evolve our membership and revenue structures.<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Removal of Snorri Giorgetti as a board member<br>
Snorri Giorgetti has only participated in one board meeting since his<br>
election, and has not responded to repeated inquiries from the board about<br>
his status. Deepak Kamlani informed us that board members have a fiduciary<br>
responsibility to the organizations that they serve on the boards of. The<br>
board views Snorri's non-participation as a breach of this responsibility.<br>
<br>
Brian Kissel made the motion "Due to sustained non-participation in the<br>
activities of the board of the OpenID Foundation, I move that Snorri<br>
Giorgetti be removed as a director." Eric Sachs seconded. The motion<br>
carried, with all voting in favor other than David Recordon and Nat<br>
Sakimura, who abstained. The board wants to state that this is not intended<br>
to be a precedent, but rather, a one-time response to the extraordinary<br>
circumstances of Snorri's sustained non-participation and<br>
non-responsiveness.<br>
<br>
This means that there will be six community seats open during the upcoming<br>
election.<br>
<br>
<br>
4. Budget Report<br>
We are currently on budget. We anticipate having similar budgetary<br>
resources next year to those we have this year. We presently $112,881 in<br>
the bank. Two checks for $50,000 each should also be arriving within days.<br>
<br>
<br>
5. Next Steps towards becoming a Trust Framework Provider for the US<br>
Government<br>
A discussion of the cost/benefit of running a certification program for the<br>
US Government ensued. Several raised the point that we should also look at<br>
the opportunity for a certification committee to maximize the opportunity<br>
for other benefits through the certification program.<br>
<br>
Mike Ozburn made the motion that:<br>
a) The board authorize formation of a steering committee to work<br>
jointly with the Information Card Foundation to explore possibilities for<br>
becoming a trust framework provider to the US Government,<br>
b) with the committee membership consisting of representatives from the<br>
companies on both boards, which are Booz Allen Hamilton, Google, Microsoft,<br>
and PayPal, the presidents of both boards, which are Brian Kissel and Paul<br>
Trevithick, as well as an additional community member from both boards,<br>
c) that the committee also investigate potential synergistic benefits,<br>
such as increased interoperability, of being a trust framework provider, and<br>
d) that the committee report back to both boards with a recommendation<br>
within 30 days with a proposal for the best means to pursue the government<br>
certification opportunity.<br>
<br>
The motion was seconded by Mike Jones and unanimously carried.<br>
<br>
[Eric Sachs and Raj Mata left the meeting at this point]<br>
<br>
Brian nominated Nat Sakimura as the additional OIDF member for the<br>
committee, with the goal of bringing an international perspective to the<br>
discussions. Andrew seconded. The motion unanimously carried.<br>
