Internet Protocol Identity Community Group Proposed

The Internet Protocol Identity Community Group has been proposed:

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

This group is for the discussion of assigning an IPv6 address for every
person on Earth, so everyone has a digital identity.


Each individual could use this to proxy or alias other identifiers,
permanent or temporary, over different spans of their lifetime. Thus, a
person they can manage their domain names, physical or email addresses,
phone numbers, WebRTC address, and other contact info as they wish,
flexibly maintaining an identity in a decentralized way not controlled
by third-party commercial interests or even governments.


This system could also be used for organizations, businesses, animals,
or any other entity that needs an identity.


This group may produce specifications.

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

You are invited to support the creation of this group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#ipid

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
