Fwd: Identity in the Browser Workshop Report finish, chartering has begun

FYI, the W3C is getting ready to move into browser-based Rec work that 
could help the federated social web out.

    cheers,

I hope everyone have seen the news on W3's homepage namely that the
identity in the browser workshop final report is published [1] and we're
ready to go to the chartering stage. Expect the announcement of a draft
charter in about week or two.

Currently, the largest issue facing possible new work at the W3C is how
expansive should a new group be. Should it narrowly scope itself to deal
only with a common cryptography API or should it deal with larger
matters of identity and session-management?

Any opinions?

    cheers,
