The one idea that came up was a possible future > workshop focused more narrowly on certificates. The WebID working group is not a working group about certificates. It is about tying TLS/SSL to identity to the web using simple web architecture. The most active list of all the groups you have created recently is the WebId XG list. Few of us were present in California during your discussion. So perhaps you could take that into account, and allow us to have a discussion of how webid can tie into these other protocols. We did not look at that in the WebID XG simply in order to make sure we could deliver something.
