IDMarket Charter

The IDMarket Group Charter
The goal of the IDMarket Working group to help develop the general public's understanding of "Identity-based services," or "Trusted Services."

Purpose
Our purpose is two-fold: (1) to help business leaders understand the technology and business dynamics that support the move to Trusted Services; and (2) to help consumers understand how to seek out or take advantage of Trusted Services.

More specifically, our purpose is to help businesses, merchants, and service providers understand the opportunity to improve their relationships with consumers, customers, or individuals in general by developing the ability to interact with each within the context of a trusted relationship.

In a similar way, our goal is to help find ways to help educate the general public about the topics and technologies that will lead to the introduction of Trusted Services.

Principles
This working group will operate by the Identity Commons principles.
