Franck - thanks for the opening ;-)

Marcin -

This work is still fairly new to ISOC and we're working to build
relationships in some of the communities who've already been focused
on these topics. We're currently looking at the topic of Identity
and will be convening a small working group to examine the subject
in depth. This group will include folks from the various Identity
communities and interested standards bodies as well as ISOC designees.

I will be making a call to chapters shortly with an outline of the
proposed process and a "job description" for subject experts. I'll
be looking to the chapters for help in identifying experts in several
areas for participation in the group.

The work on emerging architecture will come next, but that project
will really begin in 2009.
