The Internet Identity Workshop focuses on user-centric identity and identity in the large. Providing identity services between people, websites, and organizations that don't necessarily have a formalized relationship is a different problem than providing authentication and authorization services within a single organization.

The goal of the Internet Identity Workshop is to support the continued development of several open efforts in the user-centric identity community. We are also the main face-to-face meeting space for Identity Commons.

The purpose of Identity Commons is to support, facilitate, and promote the creation of an open identity layer for the Internet, one that maximizes control, convenience, and privacy for the individual while encouraging the development of healthy, interoperable communities.

The Identity Commons Principles:

1. Enable any working group to self-organize at any time, on any scale, in any form, around any activity consistent with the Purpose and Principles.
2. Fully and transparently disclose the Purpose and Principles of each working group, any requirement of participation, and any license or restriction of usage of its work product.
3. Conduct deliberations and make decisions by bodies and methods that reasonably represent all relevant and affected parties.
4. Vest authority, perform functions, and use resources in the smallest or most local part that includes all relevant and affected parties.
5. Resolve conflict without resort to economic, legal, or other duress.
6. Conduct, publish, and archive communications in a manner that facilitates open and trusted interactions within and across all working groups and the public Internet.
7. When feasible and appropriate, employ the work product of Identity Commons working groups to facilitate the operation and interaction of Identity Commons itself.
