Identity Gang

About
The Identity Gang is a group of folks that found a common interest in user-centric identity and started meeting at events in 2004.

We have an active mailing list of over 400 people. If you would like to join feel free to just make a request of [mailto:paul@socialphysics.org Paul], [mailto:phil@windley.org Phil] or [mailto:identitywoman@gmail.com Kaliya]. The list contents are not public but are available to the members of the list (for list members, here is a link to the archives).

We no longer keep a wiki list of all active participants.

We are a Working Group of Identity Commons - see our charter.

Mission
To support the ongoing conversation about what is needed for a user-centric Internet identity layer that supports the whole marketplace, especially individuals.

(Note: needs to be moved over to this wiki.)
