Coming also from the XDI Board I can perceive Nat comments as very important!!!.<br><br>The essence of OpenID is not just about technology, but about empowering the person (person-centric), and of course also about technology.<br>
<br>If this essence is not reflected in the Board taxonomy, it will probably not perdure.<br><br>There is a natural conflict of interest between humans and Corporations (also Governments and NGO´s....) regarding their digital rights (virtual personality).<br>
<br>This conflict of interest will be resolved in the Supreme Courts and Congresses, however the OpenID Board is also a strategic and important place relate with this conflict of interest, and now is the moment to address those issues, by action or omission of action (for example, by defining or not how much Board representation will have people/humans/persons).<br>
<br>Some good news is that Corporations like Google are very supportive on digital human right´s, with strong messages like<i> don´t do evil</i>. <br><br>Probably the ideal situation will be that <i><b>Corporations may compete on how much they support digital human rights, as a main value added,</b></i> and <i><b>the OpenID Board can be an enzyme helping generate this virtuous process.</b></i><br>
<br>So besides Nat comments I have the following questions if anyone can answer:<br><br>1. How many board members will represent humans? (end users and not Corporations, NGO´s, or Governments)<br>2. What actions can take the OpenID Board to preserve in the future his human-centric vision and development?<br>
<br>Thank´s in advance for anyone and everyone interest on this issues.<br><br>Best regards,<br><br>Jaco A.<br>XDI Board member<br>Costa Rica<br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 20, 2008 at 12:29 AM, Nat Sakimura <<a href="mailto:n-sakimura@nri.co.jp">n-sakimura@nri.co.jp</a>> wrote:<br>

Is there a similar mechanism for the Corporate board?<br>
