CANCELLED: XDI TC Telecon Thursday 1-2PM PT 2008-10-30

["Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@cordance.net>]

Although the Higgins F2F meetings have concluded, the XDI TC members who
attended (Markus Sabadello, John Bradley, Paul Trevithick, and myself) are
now caught up in either backlogs or travel plans that make a call tomorrow
very difficult. So we propose to cancel tomorrow's telecon and put our
energy into the following week's telecon, which will be the last one before
Internet Identity Workshop.

In the meantime, several items of good news:

1) There is a great deal of energy around XDI in Higgins, and growing
synergy between the Higgins Context Data Model and the XDI RDF model. 

2) The XRI-as-relative-URI proposal seems to be well received by the W3C
TAG, so that should help the XRI 3.0 work move forward quickly. 

3) The pending proposal for the OpenID Trust Exchange (TX) Working Group is
proposing a contract format for which the XDI TC can offer a binding to XDI
link contracts. Hopefully this group will be operating by IIW.

We will report on all these subjects next week, discuss any specific
objectives for Internet Identity Workshop, and start to lay out plans for
producing the first XDI 1.0 Working Drafts.

Again: the next telecon will be Thursday, Nov. 6, 4PM Pacific.
