[Community] RFC: Identity Trust Model Working Group

[Paul C. Bryan]

Dear Identity-Commoners:

I have posted a request for comments on the Identity Commons Wiki at:

http://wiki.idcommons.net/moin.cgi/PaulBryan

This RFC proposes a new working group which focuses on establishing one
or more explicit trust models that should be proposed for use within
user-centric identity solutions.

I go into detail about the motivation, my perception of gaps in existing
user-centric identity solutions, and how the working group can serve
towards providing solutions. I see the work of this group being largely
compatible with that of other working groups.

I am requesting comments and criticism to this proposal, as well as
expressions of interest from individuals to co-sponsor this working
group, should it make sense. If enough interest in this working group
and its objectives is seen, I will volunteer to draft a charter and
roadmap/project plan that can support work in earnest on the objectives
laid out therein.

Yours truly,

Paul C. Bryan
