Hi everyone, <br><br>Martin and I want to report the results of the vote on "creation of the PAPE Working Group." The vote to authorize the creation of the PAPE Working Group passed unanimously and therefore the group is now officially open and ready to conduct its business. <br>
<br>Each individual or entity wishing to join and participate in the PAPE Working Group must initiate their participation by submitting an IPR contribution form (filled out and signed) to OIDF. <br><br>Option One - send the completed form via email to <a href="mailto:bill@oidf.org">bill@oidf.org</a> as a PDF <br>
<br>Option Two - send the completed Contribution Agreement by fax to Bill Washburn +1 707 575 3067.<br><br>You can find the Contribution Agreement form at...<br><br><a href="http://openid.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/paper-contribution-agr-final-clean-20080107.pdf">http://openid.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/paper-contribution-agr-final-clean-20080107.pdf</a> <br>
