Thanks very much Don. <br>
<br>
We need to become able to spin up WGs much easier than now. <br>
This IPR process change enable us to do so. <br>
We badly need it to make us able to move forward for things like Authn
v.next, AX 1.1, 2.0, Artifact Binding etc. <br>
<br>
Please do vote (in favour :-). The poll URL is<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">Nominations for the
board end on
the 7<sup>th</sup>. This election will go long way towards
answering how we can best anticipate the natural evolution of the
OIDF.
The all volunteer meritocracy and open source experiment that
characterized
OpenID’s roots and amazing adoption to date will be tested. The one
thing
for certain is that the new board will oversee a reinvention of the
OpenID
Foundation; driving governance and strategic issues; where the
foundation is
and where the new Board will want it to go in 2010. <o:p></o:p></p>
