[OpenID] URGENT Critical Vote needed now!

[Nat Sakimura]

Hi.

An authoritative answer should come from the secretariat, but here is what I
understand:

The quorum is the greater of the 30% of the entire membership or 30.
Since we seem to have 338 active members, that means 102 votes.
Among it, we have to achieve majority of the vote + super majority of the
entire board.

Right now, only 58 votes has been cast, so we have significant shortage of
the vote.

FYI, to start a WG right now, we need 68 votes, so if we only get a current
level of participation, we will not be able to spin out a WG, which means we
are dead as a standardization forum.

I urge everybody to vote.
