[OpenID] We Need Less Bureaucracy But Also More Transparency

[Hans Granqvist]

Google groups are broken. I can't sign up to groups with any email address I
want.My main domain is hosted by Google Apps and I cannot sign up with any
email
address on this domain. Though I suppose I should be able to, the Google
reps
I've spoken or emailed to (several) can't fix it. I wonder how many else
would be in the same situation.

Regardless, you cannot have dependencies if you want to stay open, right?

If there is more money needed to keep mailman and servers going, and OIDF is
unable to pay (are they?), why not politely request a cut from the
conferences
making money around the standard?
