Credentials Community Group

For those of you that may have missed it in the minutes, we believe we
now have enough momentum to launch a Credentials Community Group at W3C
to take over the identity/credentials use cases and technology that this
group has been working on for a few years now.

There has been concern voiced that this group would be side-tracked by
much of the identity/credentials work. We now believe that we've found
some other organizations in the payments, education, and government ID
spaces that would like to lead the work (ensuring that the identity use
cases related to payment continue to be supported). The proposed charter
for that group is here:

Please provide input on the charter. It's heavily modeled on the charter
for this group (so if you like the way this group is run, you should
like the way that group is run).

The discussion around the formation of the group starts here:
