<div>To whom, may I ask, is this vote open?... All subscribers to this listserv?...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If so, aren't you vulnerable to the (presumably unlikely) risk of weird things happening, given that the list is public?...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also: You might want to specify a deadline for this vote?...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or are you all quite happy to be less formal about this voting stuff?...</div>

Per draft charter<br> <a href="http://wiki.idcommons.net/moin.cgi/OpenIdCharter">http://wiki.idcommons.net/moin.cgi/OpenIdCharter</a><br>and the Identity Commons deadline for initial working group formation<br>by this Friday night,
<br><br>I'd like to:<br>1) move to adopt the charter as written at the URL above<br>2) nominate David Recordon as the OpenID working group representative<br>to the Identity Commons Stewards Council.<br><br>I realize this is a bit late, but in our defense, I think neither of
<br>the points above will turn out to be particularly controversial, and<br>we DO have the objective of becoming a founding working group of the<br>reconstituted Identity Commons, don't we? along the many other<br>founding working groups ... raising the flag that OpenID is here and
<br>real. If we need to re-constitute, we can do this Saturday morning if<br>need to be, but for right now, let's just make sure we get the table<br>stakes in place for being a founding WG of IDC2 (hope people agree on<br>
this).<br><br>We don't have a voting process either, as it turns out, so I propose<br>that<br> 1. you vote +1 or -1 SEPARATELY on each of the above motions, AND<br>on this voting procedure, which I'll call "motion 3" (in addition to
<br>the above two motions)<br> 2. that if anybody produces only one vote instead of one vote for<br>the three motions separately, the same vote is applied to all three<br> 3. that any motion passes if it has at least 2/3 of the votes as
<br>+1, AND it has more +1 votes than any "competing" motion.<br> 4. you can of course make alternate motions -- call them #4 and<br>such -- but keep in mind we have very little time.<br><br>Obviously, success for motions 1 and 2 depend on the successful vote
<br>for this voting procedure (motion 3)<br><br>Given that I'm making these motions, I'll of course vote +1 on all<br>three.<br><br><br><br><br>Johannes Ernst<br>NetMesh Inc.<br><br><br><br> <a href="http://netmesh.info/jernst">
