  • I-Broker Commons
    • This is being de-provisioned - vote coming soon.
  • Blog system - Kaliya is working on New IC blog content. any help or suggestions welcom
  • Chris Reynolds is working on a one pager for funding purposes.
  • Kantara was raised - asking of folks had thoughts.
    • Dean and Chris asked for an explaination.
    • Mary shared her thoughts and Kaliya added hers.
      • The organization began being developed last year by the same people behind liberty. It has a bicameral model of participation. It has 4 main kinds of participation. Members (orgs and companies) these are divided into paying and not paying. Paying ones are on the Trustee Council and in aggregate have final budget approval and deal with staff. There are Discussion Groups and Working Groups. If working on technical things they have an IP Agreement in place and a standards body picked out that they will take work to when finished. Working Group leaders are on a Leadership Council. A clear strucutral difference - at IC all groups are “the same” or “equals” or “peers” even though they have very different natures there are only 1st class groups. Pamela (in the past has) pointed out this form choice was something that really attracted her to Identity Commons.


  • Mike Kirkwood talked about what he saw and liked in Identity Commons being a place to share with peer organizations. The light weight nature of what we have and the inter-relationship between groups and commitments among them. A log of relationships between groups if you will.
    • Kaliya said this This would reduce confusion help orient folks to the community (rather then creating an “uber-org” that does it all.
    • Dean said he liked having a loosely joined “federation” and sharing amongst the groups considering things that are shared and also learning about ideas that have not yet been thought about by one group in another.
    • Mike - joked that they all could be expressed in XRI :)
    • Mike took on a first step looking through some of the notes from past IIW’s - Dean is going to also participate and he is going to invite others to join - taking some small parts of reading to do this too.
  • Dean highlighted some issues with the UI around identity sites like this site that says Groups but is lists. He has some feedback we are going to listen too.
  • Kaliya mentioned Mike Ozburn's new group that needs to go through the charting process about Identity Markets - we will likely have the vote this month when he asks for it.
The IDMarket Group Charter - http://wiki.idcommons.net/IDMarket_Charter
The goal of the IDMarket Working group to help develop the 
general public's understanding of "Identity-based services," or "Trusted Services."

 Purpose
Our purpose is two-fold: 
(1) to help business leaders understand 
the technology and business dynamics that support the move to 
Trusted Services; and 
(2) to help consumers understand how to 
seek out or take advantage of Trusted Services.

More specifically, our purpose is to help businesses, 
merchants, and service providers understand the opportunity to 
improve their relationships with consumers, customers, or 
individuals in general by developing the ability to interact 
with each within the context of a trusted relationship.
In a similar way, our goal is to help find ways to help 
educate the general public about the topics and technologies 
that will lead to the introduction of Trusted Services.

Principles
This working group will operate by the Identity Commons principles.

Practices
We will develop our materials and discuss our work on an 
Open Mailing List.
