From my perspective at least it seems evident the paucity of recent comments reflects a sense that all of this work was rather well received and digested some time ago by the
community of interested observers. <br><br>Now it is time to take the Foundation public and announce we are officially ready to proceed.<br><br>cheers,<br>-bill<br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Dick Hardt <dick@sxip.com><br>To: Mike Jones <Michael.Jones@microsoft.com>; legal@openid.net; Scott Kveton <scott@kveton.com>; David Recordon <drecordon@sixapart.com>; "drummond.reed@cordance.net Reed" <drummond.reed@cordance.net>; Johannes Ernst <jernst@netmesh.us>; "gabe.wachob@amsoft.net Wachob" <gabe.wachob@amsoft.net>; "sky@crucially.net Bergman" <sky@crucially.net>; "bill@oidf.org Washburn" <bill@oidf.org>; David Daggett <david.daggett@klgates.com><br>Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 1:25:39 AM<br>Subject: Re: [legal] OpenID - Revised Drafts of IPR Policy and Process Document<br><br>
<div>Darn, I started reviewing the document and got sidetracked.
