Thanks to everyone’s support, I was successfully elected to the Board of Directors (for a term of 2 years) in the recent OpenID Foundation board election. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. I intend to do what little I can to help create a more trustworthy Internet.
The official announcement is here → https://openid.net/2019/02/08/openid-foundation-board-leadership-in-2019/
Under the new structure, in addition to me, representatives from the 2 companies KDDI and NRI will attend board meetings as directors, meaning that Japan will be represented by a team of 3 people.
I would be grateful for your continued support.
