Good question. I am not too sure about that either. But they seem pretty upbeat about welcoming new members and announcing new working groups. (i am on their mailing list).</blockquote><div><br>Right - cause they are "good" at that kind of promotion, with like 5+ full-time-equivalent staff whose job it is to get attention for the org... yeah. <br>
<br>
They have lots of "new" working groups cause they are moving all work
from Liberty Alliance (Trade organization) over to the "new org". Look carefully at who was not on board with the
announcement - none of the web portal co's involved in OpenID. Not many people active in the identity community actually blogged or commented
about its formation or are now talking about all the "new" activity
there. <br>
<br>
Activity continues to go on in Identity Commons working groups without much fanfare but getting lots done (OpenID, Info Cards, OSIS, Project VRM, Pamela Project, Higgins Project etc).
We just had a meeting here at Burton Group Catalyst yesterday with OSIS (open source identity systems) that has done 5 major interops <a href="http://osis.idcommons.net">http://osis.idcommons.net</a> in the last few years. <br>
<br>
You might find this informative re: some of the water under the bridge (they asked Identity Commons to merge with Liberty Alliance and form this new org last summer)<br>

<br>
Having pointed you at this piece of history from last year, there are
dialogues about "everyone getting along" and representatives from
OpenID Foundation (Don the ED), Identity Commons (5 stewards),
Information Card Foundation (3+ folks) and Kantara (Brett) were all at
the OSIS meeting yesterday. <br>
