Invitation:
The Internet Identity Workshop focuses on “user-centric identity” - this also includes the range of emerging open standards and efforts in what is now know as the social web. Collectively we are trying to solve the technical, social and legal challenges of how people can manage their own identity, personal data and social data, across the range of websites, services, companies and organizations that they belong to, purchase from and participate with.
This is where everyone from a diverse range of projects doing the real-work of making this vision happen gather and work intensively for three days.  It is the best place to meet and participate with all the key people and projects.  Here is a list of projects & standards represented. The event complies a book of proceedings with all the notes from the conference here are the ones from last spring and last fall. BTW these two documents are your secret weapon to convince your employer that this event will be valuable. For this conference you can see who is coming on our registration page and the list of proposed topics gleaned as participants register.

In our effort to document the whole confernece and give all attendees access to all the happenings in sessions we have a notes taking procedure:

If you convene a session it is your responsibility to get a note taker for your session.

The note taker needs to use the NOTE TAKING FORM - found here in digital form http://iiw.idcommons.net/Note_Form    (the paper version will be avaliable in each break out space too).

When notes are complete, the note taking form must be e-mailed to iiwn...@gmail.com
OR transfered to a USB key at Documentation Center
OR if paper notes are taken transcribed by the notes taker on computers provided in Documentation Center

We will also be collecting a more immediate list of results from each session on 11x17 sheets.

We are looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday!

let us know if you have any other questions,

-Kaliya, Phil and Doc
