                                  Disaggregate

There is a

                             Dynamic Tension

       between the                    and the
                  individual                    group

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.

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.

The webkids of San Francisco
                             have been developing the “open stack”

Amongst them this kind of thinking is common:

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.

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