<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Well, if the “Election committees” decide to allow people to join without paying $100, I will be much more likely to seek a board seat.<BR>
<BR>
Question: can employees of the corporate sponsors join the board? Is there any restriction to avoid too many people from the same employer?<BR>

A: You need to be OpenID Foundation member in good standing. That<BR>
means you need to have signed up here:<BR>
<a href="https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration">https://openid.net/foundation/members/registration</a><BR>
<BR>
That does cost you some money; the theory is that this will get those<BR>
people to vote that care and leave out those that don't.<BR>
<BR>
Hopefully the membership and election committees ( <a href="http://wiki.openid.net/OpenID_Foundation/Committees">http://wiki.openid.net/OpenID_Foundation/Committees</a><BR>
) will soon have defined a plan how we are going to go about the<BR>
elections.<BR>
<BR>
If you have any comments, please bug your favorite board member. As a<BR>
board we better be responsive to the community ... ;-)<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
