I already voted +1 some time back.

David, could you draft a proposed recommendation from the specs council to send to specs at openid.net, so we can close our responsibilities for this proposal?

                                Thanks,
                                -- Mike

It seems that right now we have +1 votes from Allen, David, and Josh.
We're thus missing votes from Brad, Dick, Johnny and Mike (all on the
to line of this email).

Dick, Johnny, Mike and Brad.  Please reply with your vote on the
OpenID/OAuth hybrid proposal as soon as you can.

Thanks,
--David
