<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Minutes from November 16, 2011 Executive Committee Call<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Present:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nat Sakimura<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike Jones<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John Bradley<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chris Messina<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nico Popp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Absent:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(none)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>1. Evaluation of Don Thibeau's bonuses for the second and third quarters<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nat made a proposal to pay the bonuses in full. The amount is specified in his contract.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike stated that Don has a good job in a sometimes difficult situation, enabling us to get to a good situation. Therefore, we should approve his full bonuses. Nico agreed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">John moved that we pay Don the full bonuses. Nico seconded. The motion was unanimously approved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>2. Discussion of fourth quarter priorities<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The EC didn't feel that any short-term changes in priorities were needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The EC decided to reinforce that Don's top two priorities for this quarter are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. OpenID Connect launch<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Prepare for the upcoming board election<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The election should be promoted online and at the Japan summit. Maintaining geographic and other diversity of the candidates would be a plus, but we understand that the candidates will self-select.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before the election, we will need to know the current number of sponsoring members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>3. Timely consideration of bonuses<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The EC apologizes to Don for not considering his bonuses in a timely fashion. This in no way was a reflection of his performance. The committee commits to considering future bonuses in a timely manner.<o:p></o:p></p>
