Here are a few pithy notes

Kevin Sharp

  • fear from security holds us back
  • how do we discover identity
  • transactions and authentication using biometrics is here
  • how do you know I am who I say I am?

Doc Searls

  • physical and digital identity are different
  • abstraction equals representation
  • move from value, to count to record
  • need a container to store
  • need communication
  • data is a representation of everything
  • no business model for gravity, air and water
  • what would be loose if we lost identity ?

Azeem

  • the reputation graph
  • connection does not relate to relationship
  • who are you doing business with
  • markets need reputation
  • need to match to trade on equal terms
  • trust gone
  • how to score the game
  • data is public
  • badges are not reputation
  • portability needed but not a currency

Scott & Drummond

  • data leverage
  • does value exist without a framework
  • data is superset of identity
  • identity equals more data equals opportunity
  • to many layers to create value
  • business model depending on analysis
  • banks too regulated to compete
  • trust frameworks are needed
  • protection balance of risk and privacy
  • social vouchers are cheap and easy

Gary/ Mary

  • Identity is flat, fragmented and needs context
  • secure way to point to data
  • understand chemical and chemistry
  • rights to data is needed
  • weaver, selector and API
  • who is dancing with you
  • on internet scale
  • flatlander - more dimensions are needed
  • you are a person and you need context
