Peter, seems to me that the challenges OpenID faces are no longer
primarily technical, and so criteria that might have been valid 1-2
years ago are no longer necessarily so. <br>
<br>
I'd rather have had the candidates debating each other's policies on
those challenges these last 2 weeks than defending the (surely
built-in) OpenID support of whatever blogging platform they use (or
challenging their respective corporate affiliations).<br>
<br>
Regardless, you vote your way, I'll do the same.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Whether or not their blog, wiki etc supports
OpenID is way
down on my list of criteria for a qualified candidate for the board.<br>
<br>
I don't expect Canadian politicians to be active research scientists -
but
rather to create, fund & push policies that support scientific
research.<br>

open up the rules a bit.
The candidate’s claim to be ACUTALLY using openid does not have to be a
blog comment form. It could be a wiki, or a registration site they
manage,
or…**anything** (in public) that I can apply myopenid. Ideally, I
should
be able to find the openid logo (so I don’t hit the initial Snorri
situation). If your firm is selling travel wiki software, and its
customers are
using openid in practice to flog airtickets, that’s fine! Anything will
do!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
