<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. (see: http://groups.google.com/group/idtbd)
