3. 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.

5. Could the next generation of online communications strengthen civil
society by better connecting people to others with whom they share
affinities, so they can more effectively exchange information and self-
organize?
YES if you have the freedom to aggregate yourself across
systems you can have to emergent social effects like physical
bodies provide in physical space.
YES if you can have persistent identifiers for people that they
choose how they link across systems.
Like the Web or email, the ASN would be available to anyone. It would
become a common part of the Internet infrastructure – a person-
centered and group-centered service of the net.

8. I figured out how to communicate that
anonymity and psydonymity on the web
are really important and provide an
invaluable social good.
I turned to the post cards found on Post Secret.
People send post cards to Frank
with secrets they have never told anyone before.
He has received 180,000 of them.

15. Remember - people need safe space online
to express freely
without“everything” they say
linking back to their “real identity.”
