<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=860061122-23052007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>The purpose of the OpenID Foundation is to foster and
promote the development and adoption of OpenID as a framework for user-centric
identity on the Internet. The intent is for the Foundation to serve as a public
trust organization representing the community of developers, vendors, and users
in much the same way that Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) has done for
Linux, the Mozilla Foundation has done for Firefox, the Dojo Foundation has done
for the Dojo Toolkit, and the Apache Software Foundation as done for numerous
Open Source projects. While this organization is not identical to any one
of those, it embodies aspects of each that enable it to support the unique needs
of the OpenID community.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
