OpenID Foundation Board of Directors: 17 Candidates Vie For Seven Spots
Few elements of the "Open Stack" have garnered as much attention - or as much support - as OpenID, a way to use a single digital identity across multiple Web sites. That acceptance led ReadWriteWeb's Marshall Kirkpatrick to call the OpenID Foundation "one of the leading organizations in the new standards world." In that same post, Kirkpatrick urged people to participate in the elections for the OpenID Foundation Board of Directors. Now, the time for that participation has come.
Seventeen individuals have been nominated to fill seven open slots:
- Martin Atkins
- John Bradley
- Johannes Ernst
- Snorri Giorgetti
- Eran Hammer-Lahav
- Dick Hardt
- Mike Kirkwood
- Brian Kissel
- Scott Kveton
- Chris Messina
- Peter Nixey
- David Recordon
- Eric Sachs
- Nat Sakimura
- Luke Shepard
- Joseph Smarr
- Allen Tom
Current members of the OpenID Foundation are encouraged to visit the OpenID Foundation, log in with their respective OpenIDs, and cast votes for up to seven candidates. For those who have not yet joined the Foundation, registration is open, starting at $25 for an individual account.
The elections will remain open until December 24, 2008. The new Board will be announced before December 31, 2008. Board members begin their term on January 1, 2009.

we need to get more women in here...None the less, a great group of people. They should all be able to contribute in some way.
