<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><font color="#888888">

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" target="_blank">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" target="_blank">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>
