>> leadership in consumer identity architecture at Australia's largest banks,
>> provides him with an unparalleled understanding of both the technical
>> requirements and practical challenges facing FAPI implementations globally.
>>
>> Dima's technical contributions to the FAPI community have been
>> substantial and impactful. As a long-standing FAPI Working Group member, he
>> served as the primary author of the comprehensive Open Banking Whitepapers
>> and has contributed significantly to multiple specifications produced by
>> the FAPI WG. His ability to bridge complex technical concepts with
>> practical implementation guidance is evidenced through his thoughtful
>> technical writing, conference presentations, and active community
>> engagement. Additionally, his experience as Co-Chair of the GAIN PoC
>> Community Working Group demonstrates proven ability to lead technical
>> working groups and drive consensus among diverse stakeholders.
>>
>> His appointment would provide strategic value through seamless alignment
>> between FAPI WG activities and Foundation-wide objectives,
>> implementation-focused leadership grounded in real-world deployment
>> experience, and a crucial Asia-Pacific regional perspective for global
>> financial ecosystems. Dima's combination of board-level strategic
>> oversight, deep technical knowledge, financial services expertise, and
>> demonstrated commitment to the OpenID Foundation community makes him an
>> ideal candidate to guide the FAPI Working Group through its continued
>> evolution and global adoption.
>>
>> If you have an objection, please write to the
>> openid-specs-fapi-owner at lists.openid.net or to this list by July 9. Of
>> course, explicitly writing +1 would also be very welcome.
