2008 Q2 Report N4N

Successes
1. Updated charter to sharpen focus of the group's mission and establish deliverables leading up to IIW2008b November 10-11.

2. Established new email-based question-and-answer resource for members of Identity Commons to pose questions and receive expert replies. This resource is suited to both new members of Identity Commons and to veterans exploring areas that are new to them. The address for "IDentity Questions 'n Answers" is idqna@idcommons.net. The resource is on track to be up and running by September 6 and will probably be up a couple days before then. Questions will be vectored to community experts for replies, and the replies will be organized into a searchable FAQ. The working name for this FAQ is Identity Mecca.

3. Developed rudimentary outline for set of web pages that will succinctly brief newcomers on fundamental identity topics, with links for deeper information. This set is due September 12.
