******* WEBINAR INVITATION ***********

What do OpenID, the Higgins Project, i-names, and XDI (XRI Data Interchange)
all have in common? They all use the XRI 2.0 digital identifier
specifications and XRDS discovery format from the OASIS XRI (Extensible
Resource Identifier) TC.  Come to this one-hour webinar and learn: 

* Why distributed directories, digital identity frameworks, ontologies,
reputation systems, and other emerging Web technologies need abstract
structured identifiers. 

* How XRI syntax combines the best features of URNs (Uniform Resource Names)
and HFNs (Human-Friendly Names). 

* How XRIs are backwards-compatible with URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers)
and IRIs (Internationalized Resource Identifiers).

* How XRDS documents are rapidly becoming the defacto service discovery
format for user-centric identity and data portability. 

* The problems XRI and XRDS solved for OpenID Authentication 2.0.

7) XRDS SIMPLE

Drummond and Gabe provided an update on the progress of this open source
specification, currently posted at:

	http://xrds-simple.net/core/1.0/ 

* The TC is open to hosting this specification but wants to work with the
community, particularly the OAuth community where it was born, to determine
if the TC is the best home.


8) OTHER PREPARATIONS FOR OASIS STANDARD VOTE

We talked about further discussion with the Data Portability community at
the Data Sharing Summit tomorrow. Several TC members will attend the event
and work on that. We will discuss further preparations for the vote next
week.
