[OpenID] This is not a company election

[Dick Hardt]

+1

Brian: I think it behooves the community for you to clarify if you are  
running as an individual representing your interest in OpenID, or if  
this is motivated by being CEO of JanRain at this point in time. You  
will continue to hold this community seat even if you leave JanRain.  
Is that the commitment you are making?

Nat, Allen, Eran and Eric have also indicated a corporate affiliation.  
Would the rest of you clarify?

Myself, I will continue to have an interest and represent the  
community wether I work at Microsoft or not.

As some history, David, Scott and Martin have all continued to  
represent the community and sit on the board even though their  
employer changed.
