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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Ok. Ill
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!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
