User\'s Identity on the Web Community Group Proposed

The User\'s Identity on the Web Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

Dear W3C members, Dear all,
Currently, more and more services are created on the web and require
informations about you, me, all of us... 
Therefore, users have to give away a lot of informations about
themselves to many different services. The point is that the users loose
control of their identity on the web, by filling a lot of forms (through
inscriptions...) etc...
Privacy on the Internet is extremely important and my point is : It must
remain ! Personal informations are used by services we, sometimes,
don\'t even know about, and it is a real problem !


The aim of this working group would be to think about new ways to
identify individuals over the internet using trusted web based identites
embedded directly into the core protocols of the web (or else ...). This
while maintaining equilibrium between total privacy and providing
informations when needed, which means, when user wants to.


I am aware that it is late, because a lot of informations are already on
the web, but still I think it is interesting to discuss this with a W3
community group. 
This group is open to anyone interested and each contribution is always
useful and welcome.
I hope you will join us and I am sure we will have very interesting
discussion !


Best Regards,
Benjamin
