[OpenID] OpenID 2009 Year in Review

[John Bradley]

Hi Shade,

I haven't made a secret of my running for the board.   I agree it is a bit strange that the candidates list and statements are not public.

Mine is nothing to write home about but I will include it in this post so that it is on the public list for you and others who may not be members.   

I should also update it slightly which I can't do on the official site.

I am now working for Protiviti government services to support the GSA Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) Lab.    I just signed the contract today.    I will be working on openID , Information-card (IMI), SAML and WS-Fed projects.    I don't see that changing my ability to be a community board member,  however people should be aware of my new affiliation.

My statement from the site follows.
Regards
John B.

I am an independent contractor working on federated identity projects from my home in Chile.
I have been working with the US Government (ICAM) on a trust profile for openID over the last 8 months.
I am continuing to work with government agencies to promote adoption of openID.
I think the next step for identity on the internet is establishing trust between the various parties. That is a key component of my ICAM work. However it doesn't stop there, there are other trust groupings that need to happen in the commercial space to drive adoption.
I have been one of the contributors to the PAPE extension as well as working on security and interoperability openID tests for the OSIS interop events. This has given me good first hand experience working with the various library authors to improve interoperability and security. I was one of the contributors to XRI 2.0 and continue to be actively involved in the work around the XRD spec to create a common meta-data discovery framework for openID, OAuth, info-cards, and other open platforms.
I previously with Andy Dale at ooTao trying to develop a market for identity based services built around openID. 
I am on the ID Trust member section steering committee at OASIS that provides coordination and support for the identity related specs at OASIS such as Information Cards, XRI, XRD and XDI. I am also a member of those committees as well as the SAML technical committee.
Feel free to contact me with questions.
Regards 
John Bradley

I don't see a large number of candidates posting their nomination statement (or even status) to the openid-general list, or through any other channels that are open to the public. Are elections meant to be a strictly internal process (with everyone not directly involved finding out only after the fact), with exceptions made by whichever candidates may feel like announcing their participation?
