<p class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The Board of Directors has voted to revise the OpenID Foundation
IPR Process document. The revisions are primarily being made to streamline the
formation of technical working groups to help advance OpenID specifications and
technologies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>A vote of the full membership is required to formally adopt
the revised process that the Board has already approved. Marked and clean
versions of the revised process document are viewable here:<o:p></o:p></p>
