Re: Planning to close Universal DID-Native Addressing (UDNA) Community Group due to inactivity unless we hear from you

Hi Ian,

I have checked the scope and it’s

Scope:

   - Defining UDNA specifications for DID-based network addressing.
   - Developing protocols for secure, verifiable, and rotatable identity
   resolution.
   - Exploring integration with existing Internet protocols and
   decentralized networks.
   - Enabling zero-trust and capability-based access control models.
   - Investigating privacy-preserving communication and anti-abuse
   mechanisms.
   - Providing reference implementations and interoperability guidance.

Expected Outcomes:

   - A set of specifications and guidelines for UDNA adoption.Reference
   architectures and implementation examples.
   - Recommendations for integrating identity-native addressing into
   decentralized applications and protocols.
   - A community of researchers, developers, and organizations
   collaborating on identity-native networking technologies.

Regards
Amir Hameed
