Meeting Mintes for: Agenda for WebID Teleconf, Monday 11 April 2011

Minutes are here:

The meeting started off with us getting even more lost than usual in IRC magic. But 
I have now written down the main magic spells. After that we covered the test cases,
and spent a lot of time writing the first part of the abstract for identity in the browser.

Jeff Even wrote a Haiku for it

WebID helps me
identity, privacy
Secure, simple, free

Here is the first part for the talk: http://www.w3.org/2011/identity-ws/

1. Position Statement

The browser is the interface to the web and should also serve as the interface to a user’s identity. Identity selection and deselection should be a one-click gesture to secure authentication across the entire web. It should put the user in control of the information he shares with each site. And it should be available now.

The WebID protocol achieves all of the above. It works in all browsers now using the widely-deployed TLS protocol and client-side certificates--but with a twist. It ties those certificates into the web in a RESTful manner allowing identities to be linked together in a secure social web of trust.

After explaining how the WebID protocol works,  we will suggest a roadmap for future improvements in the browser, starting from minimal changes that can be done right now, to longer term ones that can be deployed incrementally.


We will be working on that this week and continue reviewing it next week.

>> - If for any reason you won't be able to attend a meeting which you are due to be scribing, please let us know via the mailing list so an alternative can be arranged.

>>   http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/track/issues/open
>> .. and advance the products:
>>   http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/track/products
>> .. so that we all feel that the time we commit to the meetings is well spent, and typically is centred towards making progress on the issues and products, pre discuss on the list, then come to final resolutions on the calls.
>> 
>> Quorum and resolving issues:
>> - to close an issue, Quorum is usually 1/3 of the active members in a group (in our case that would be 12). However I'd suggest that we specify 6 plus-ones to move an issue to preliminarily close an issue, at which point the ISSUE will be moved to a "Pending Review" status.
>> - For any issue we propose to close, the resolution must be sent to the mailing list and left on "Pending Review" for one week so that others get a chance to comment on any proposed solution, or raise any last minute objections/points/clarifications.
>> - After one week of "Pending Review", all issues requiring no further discussion will be closed at the subsequent meeting, and any issues requiring further telecon time / another vote will be placed on the Agenda by the Chair.
>> 
>> Does that all sound okay?

>> Best,
