Digital Death Charter

Name
Digital Death

Purpose
The primary purpose is to support the community focused on issues surrounding Death in the Digital Realm.

A secondary purpose is to put forward use-cases related to death in the digital realm to the identity community and influence industry to develop norms and standards.

Principles
'Every working group 'inherits' the general principles of Identity Commons itself:


 * 1) Self-Organization. Enable any working group to self-organize at any time, on any scale, in any form, around any activity consistent with the Purpose and Principles.
 * 2) Transparency. Fully and transparently disclose the Purpose and Principles of each working group, any requirement of participation, and any license or restriction of usage of its work product.
 * 3) Inclusion. Conduct deliberations and make decisions by bodies and methods that reasonably represent all relevant and affected parties.
 * 4) Empowerment. Vest authority, perform functions, and use resources in the smallest or most local part that includes all relevant and affected parties.
 * 5) Collaboration. Resolve conflict without resort to economic, legal, or other duress.
 * 6) Openness. Conduct, publish, and archive communications in a manner that facilitates open and trusted interactions within and across all working groups and the public Internet.
 * 7) Dogfooding. When feasible and appropriate, employ the work product of Identity Commons working groups to facilitate the operation and interaction of Identity Commons itself.

This section should list any additional operating principles of the working group -- IF ANY -- i.e., scope limitations, how membership will be managed, how it will be governed, how Stewards Council representatives are chosen, when its work will be considered complete, etc.
