Focusing on current events that effect 'Access and Notice' for informed Consent in the management and use of personal information.

Discussions about advertising the best practice and the reputations best practice can coining the term positive privacy.

Principles
This working group advocates the practice of advertising the good entities referring to this practice as 'Positive Privacy' a strategy which addresses the needs of the community and develops the information marketplace with a *volunteered* level of compliance.

Enabling the community and in its ability to be healthy, free and democratic.

Practices
The practice is to post good and bad news events which impact 'user-centric' policy. Posting/discussing current events to discuss the global 'user-centric' secure policy compliant marketplace. In addition to discussing theses post to look at ways in which the policy and compliance environment can be organised and usable (interoperable) with other initiatives in the community.

In lay terms, discussing current events, and looking at the control and value of personal information. This working group is focused on discussing decisions and activities effecting 'policy' of what happens to our personal information. The reason is discuss topics like information self-determination, consent for the disadvantaged and unable, and other issues which may determines the value of our own information. To start off the Lunar New Year (Feb 07, 2008), I invite people to post to the good and bad highlights from last year that are felt to have been important events. Events effecting the fate of our information. Send email to: identitytrust@identitycommons.net
