Draft Paper: A Distributed and Lightweight Identity System
As the World Wide Web is the model of a distributed network with common
document standards and access, and most access to information seems to
be through web documents and/or browsers, this draft paper describes how it is possible
to have a lightweight distributed model for identity, user accounts and
documents, sharing permissions across systems, non-centralized
authentication systems.

Each session will be designed to keep dialog moving, so to respect your time we will moderate, giving everyone an opportunity to participate, but keeping track of time. As a moderation method we will divide each session into thirds, the first and shortest will be for introductions; the second will be for a discussion of the issue and major developments; and the third will be a fast paced "design charrette" session, facilitating participatory creative contributions toward workable solutions.
