What is the OpenID Foundation?
A. The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) was formed in June 2007 to help promote, protect and enable the OpenID technologies and community. The OIDF does not dictate the technical direction of OpenID; instead ot helps enable and protect the work of the OpenID community, performed primarily via mailing lists, wikis, and working groups. The OpenID board consists of both community directors (elected annually by the community) and corporate directors, however community directors are a majority.
