Phil Windley!
In his blog, Phil said, "Further, i-names are not reassignable (unlike domain names), so
when you contact the person at =windley, you know it's me, not just the next
guy to pick up the name when I let it expire." I think is not correct.
[Chasen, Les] This is not 100% accurate. I-names are
re-assignable i-numbers are not.
And, if I sell my iname to someone, and
give them the password, how would 2IDI ever even know that event has happened?
[Chasen, Les] If you turn over your identity, which includes
your iname and inumber, to someone else then they are really masquerading as
you. Of course that is not controllable by anybody. If you
release *just* your iname which is the appropriate way
to give someone else your iname, assuming you do not want to give up your
identity, they get their own inumber. This is why all IDPs MUST use your
inumber as your trusted identifier.

Your password will not work for the new
person. The reason is that you can sell your name but you cannot sell
your inumber. The inumber is persistent and will *never* be reassigned to another person.

I never considered my i-name to be
permanent. Is Phil correct about that? What if I just sell my i-name to someone
else and tell them the password?

This is the best endorsement of INames and XRI we’ve
had in a while.
I’m even more appreciative of the public comments from
Phil given the fact that he was one of the folks in the IIW “Creative
Uses of INames” that was raising issues about how hard it was to
experiment and play with INames as an end user or developer. This in turn
prompted me to write my a blog entry about “The Thrill of the
Hack”: http://blog.wachob.com/2006/12/the_thrill_of_t.html
in which I take a self-critical view of the developer-community outreach by the
INames (and XRI) community.
So again, thanks Phil for keeping the XRI torch burning
while also keeping our feet to the fire!!!
