[Community] latest on Identity Commons 2.0

[Brett McDowell]

I have a question of interpretation for the community list with a
follow-on proposal:

Question: Would it be consistent with the Purpose and Principles (as
crafted today in draft form) for IC2 to duplicate efforts of an
existing organization that is operating consistently with IC2's
purpose?

If yes, is that the desired outcome of the parties involved?

If no... (see proposal)


Proposal: That we add a new item under Purpose and Principles along
the lines of...

"To coordinate with external communities--operating consistently with
the Purpose of Identity Commons--to adopt/leverage the output of their
effort,  avoid duplication or confusion with their activities, align
working groups to share resources where possible and ultimately
accelerate the realization of common purpose." ("word smithing"
required)

Thoughts?
