<p class="MsoNormal">As several OpenID working groups are being proposed, it would be good to ensure that the OpenID specifications council is populated with people who are currently active in specification development and have the appropriate expertise. Per
<a href="http://lists.openid.net/pipermail/openid-board/2008-June/002989.html">this note</a>, the council currently consists of these people, who are subscribed to the openid-specs-council list with these addresses:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Allen Tom atom at yahoo-inc.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Brad Fitzpatrick brad at danga.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - David Recordon recordond at gmail.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Johnny Bufu johnny.bufu at gmail.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Josh Hoyt josh at janrain.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Dick Hardt dick.hardt at gmail.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> - Mike Jones michael.jones at microsoft.com<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can each of you who plan to remain active on the specifications council PLEASE RESPOND affirmatively to this note in the next few days? Otherwise, we should offer the positions to other spec editors who will be active. Nat Sakimura is
certainly one person who comes to mind, as editor of the CX and Artifact Binding specifications, and also Breno de Medeiros, who is an editor for the User Interface Extension.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As a reminder of the role of the specifications council, here are some of the relevant passages from the
<a href="http://openid.net/wordpress-content/uploads/2010/01/OpenID_Process_Document_December_2009_Final_Approved.pdf">
OpenID Process document</a>:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="ClauseLevel2" style="margin-left:.35in;text-indent:0in;mso-list:none"><b>1.4</b> “<b>Editor(s)</b>” means, for a particular Specification to be developed by a particular WG, the individual Contributor(s) selected to coordinate development of, and
transcription of the work of the WG for, such Specification, as well as (together with any other Editors for that WG) to administer WG operation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ClauseLevel2" style="margin-left:.35in;text-indent:0in;mso-list:none"><b>1.5</b> “<b>Eligible Editors</b>” means, as determined on a given date, all Editors from current WGs and all other persons who: (a) were WG Editors at any time in the two years
before such date; (b) are alive and have provided and maintained updated contact information with the OpenID Foundation; and (c) elect to participate in selection of the Specifications Council after at least seven days’ email notice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="ClauseLevel2" style="margin-left:.35in;text-indent:0in;mso-list:none"><b>1.6</b> “<b>Specifications Council</b>” means a group comprised of: (a) two representatives selected by the Board; and (b) five representatives selected by the Eligible Editors.
The Board may select from among the current Board members (or other appropriate persons, as determined by the Board), and the Eligible Editors may select from among themselves (or other appropriate persons, as the Eligible Editors determine).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="ClauseLevel1" style="mso-list:none"><b>2 Specifications Council.</b> The initial Specifications Council, as of the date these Processes are adopted, will be comprised of two persons selected by the Board and five persons selected by the then-current
OpenID Authentication 2.0 Specification Editors. The members of the Specifications Council will serve for two year terms (although one of the initial members selected by the Board and two of the initial members selected by the Editors of the OpenID Authentication
2.0 Specification will serve for only a one year term – as selected by consensus of the Specifications Council – so that Specifications Council membership terms may be staggered). There are no “term limits” for Specifications Council membership, and the Board
or Eligible Editors, as applicable, may re-select the same persons to serve for more than one term (consecutive or otherwise). In the event that a Specifications Council member failed to participate in the discussion of two consecutive working group proposals,
the member will be deemed to have resigned, and new specifications council members who are committed to participating in the process will be appointed to replace the member.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="ClauseLevel2" style="margin-left:.35in;text-indent:0in;mso-list:none"><b>4.2 Review.</b> The Specifications Council will review each proposal within 15 days after receipt and promptly provide notice to
<a href="mailto:specs@openid.net">specs@openid.net</a> of its recommendation to either accept or reject it, together with a brief statement of the rationale for its recommendation (including any findings or opinions by the Specifications Council regarding the
criteria for rejection in the following clauses (a)-(d). If a proposal is rejected, it may be modified and resubmitted. The reasons for rejection will be limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="ClauseLevel3" style="margin-left:0in"><![if !supportLists]><b><span style="mso-list:Ignore">(b)<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

<p class="ClauseLevel3" style="text-indent:0in;mso-list:none">If no recommendation was issued within 15 days after receipt, the Proposal is deemed to be accepted.

<p class="ClauseLevel3" style="text-indent:0in;mso-list:none">When the Specifications Council rejects the proposal, the Proposers may submit the Proposal to a vote of the OIDF membership, in accordance with the voting procedures in §3. When the vote passes,
the proposal is deemed to be accepted. <o:p></o:p></p>
