About
The Identity Gang is a group of folks that found a common interest in user-centric identity and started meeting at events in 2004. To join send an email to Subscribe.
We have an active mailing list of over 500 people.
Prior to January 2, 2009, this list was hosted at idworkshop@googlegroups.com. These list contents are not public but are available to the members of that list (for list members, here is a link to that archive).
We no longer keep a wiki list of all active participants.
We are a Working Group of Identity Commons - see our charter.
Mission
To support the ongoing conversation about what is needed for a user-centric Internet identity layer that supports the whole marketplace, especially individuals.
