Quick review requested: short paper on XDI and privacy

[Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

XDI TC Members,

We have been asked by a member of the program committee for the Internet Privacy Workshop (http://www.iab.org/about/workshops/privacy/) to submit a very short paper (<2 pages) describing how XDI and specifically XDI link contracts could be relevant to Internet privacy. The workshop is co-organized by the following groups: Internet Architecture
Board (IAB), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Internet Society (ISOC), and
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). 

Technically the paper was due a week ago (the workshop is Dec. 8 & 9) but I told them we couldn't do it until early this week due to Internet Identity Workshop being last week.

I had time to discuss this topic with a few TC members at IIW and pulled their input together into the attached 2 pager. Several of them are willing to be co-authors on this (even though it's so short, I'm open to anyone on the TC being a co-author)

Please look it over and, if possible, do 2 things:

1) Send me any feedback (keep in mind we must keep it under 2 pages, which it just barely is now, so you can only suggest replacing, not adding, content)

2) Let me know if you want to be included as an author, and if so, exactly how your name should appear (no affiliations - we'll all just be identified as members of the OASIS XDI TC)

Thanks,

=Drummond
