<ISOC hat on>
As stated in the press release, ISOC has joined the the Liberty Alliance
Board. Our participation here is directly related to the ISOC initiative
on Trust and Identity (T/Id). Our primary interest is not just the Liberty
Alliance itself but a proposed transition to a broader organization. This
effort is currently called either IDTBD or NewOrg in the community
discussions. The intent is to open participation to new entrants and
technologies and NewOrg will also help represent emerging identity
management work to end-users, policymakers, enterprise adopters, and
others.
ISOC has been actively reaching out to many of the current identity
technology communities as part of our effort to understand what "managed
identity" will mean for end users. We also have some interest in how the
frameworks and use cases developing in user managed identity communities
may overlap and inform more traditional networked identity/identifier
problems. I believe that ISOC support for this move to an open community
lead forum will help bring this important work to a broader audience and
will encourage greater participation and interoperability (high priorities
for T/Id work: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/mission/initiative/trust.shtml).
The transition to a "NewOrg" is still in process, and the founding
documents: by-laws, operating procedures, IPR considerations, etc., were
reviewed at the recent Liberty Alliance Plenary and continue to progress.
