Higgins Project Charter

DRAFT - Still under construction

The primary purpose of this working group is to design and build a working implementation of distributed data sharing for the WISER Commons community based on open identity and data standards. (See the working group home page for specific use cases - once we've built it.)

The secondary purpose of this group is to create a reference architecture and implementation that can be shared, copied and refined by others.

Principles

The WISER Commons Architectural Working Group will function according to the Identity Commons Principles (see PurposeAndPrinciples).

Requirements of Participation and How to Join

This working group is open to anyone participating in the Higgins projectrepresentatives of any open source identity software project and to any other interested persons who:

* Publicly commit to the goal of internet-scale identity interoperability across projects, protocols, companies and platforms, and * Publicly commit to the goal of enabling a pluralistic technology and business ecosystem for identity product and service components that compete on the merits rather than based on any one entity's control over one or more components.

An open source digital identity software project or interested person joins this working group by publicly declaring their membership on this charter page and affirming that they adhere to the Purpose and Principles of this working group and that they make the two commitments specified above.
