[OpenID] My views on the coming elections to the board

[John Bradley]

Santosh,

I would be happy to have you as one of my seconders.  

I think we do have a bit of an apathy problem at this point in the openID lifecycle.  

I do have to grant that you are not apathetic regarding openID.

I went to nominate myself,  which is a bit strange even for someone as egotistical as myself.
I discovered that you need to make your candidate statement as part of the nomination precess, and can't change it later.

I thought I should give it some thought and not just say the first thing that popped into my head.
That generally gets me in trouble:)

John B.
