[WG-InfoSharing] Specification and Kickstarter for the Standard Information Sharing Label

[Joe Andrieu]

Howdy folks,

This week, at IIW, we officially launched the Standard Information
Sharing Label. We announced the initial draft of the specification and
started promoting the Kickstarter.

Please chime in and help take this to the next level. Check out the
work so far, join us on our calls to help advance the effort, and blog,
tweet, and email your networks to spread the word.

The response at IIW was enthusiastic, especially from the Personal Data
Rights Language and OIX Attribute Exchange efforts. We'll be
collaborating with both of those groups and hopefully their support will
help fuel interest in the Kickstarter.

I also had a nice chat with John Fontana on Wednesday and he wrote a
nice blog post over at ZDNet. Hopefully we can get some more coverage
like that. =)

Here are the key links to check out and put in your own posts and

We've got a bit of early traction, now let's see how quickly we can get
this to a larger audience.

Thanks for being a part of the effort!
