I would need to know more about your use case before I could recommend  
wether OpenID is ready and/or appropriate to solve your problems.

I think I have spent the last 5 years doing my part to turn the  
identity industry towards user-centric identity.

I ran one of the first web development and hosting companies in  
Canada, and convinced many of the early adopters including the major  
national newspaper chain to get on board in 1994 / 1995.

I don't understand this question. Is it what other candidates would I  
like to have on the board?
