Christopher Allen (co-editor of TLS and organizer for the Rebooting Web
of Trust Workshops) has written a thought provoking piece on
self-sovereign identity:

http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2016/04/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity.html

... which got a fair bit of focus at the Internet Identity Workshop last
week.

He wrote it also in preparation for the United Nations ID2020 event:

and the second Rebooting Web of Trust workshop:

While I don't think we'll ever universally agree on the items you list
above before trying to solve a subset of them, all of the initiatives
listed above are working toward some of the things that you want to see,
Tim.

PS: While the Web Payments CG is cc'd on this email, I suggest we drop
that mailing list if this goes down an "identity" path.
