[OpenID] This is not a company election

Thu Dec 11 15:27:03 UTC 2008

I am running as an individual.
If I represent any affiliation, it is OpenID Japan community and not  
my employer.

After I have nominated myself, I noticed that I did it with the OpenID  
that is associated with NRI because that happened to be my main  
OpenID. Feeling uncomfortable with it,  I consulted the election  
committee if the nomination could be changed to my personal OpenID.  
After some discussion, it was determined that it may not be a good  
idea to change it for the duration of the election. Also, I thought  
that though this is a personal project, it would be better to disclose  
one's affiliation anyways. I actually think that it would be a good  
idea for everybody to disclose one's affiliation and stakes like Dick  
did.

Hopefully, this has answered your question. Any question is welcome.

Cheers,
