Drummond writes about recent progress at the Identity Commons, and how it is…

…perhaps the most intentionally-designed un-organization in history.

Would you like to be involved? ;-)

More seriously, he has a very valid point. The traditional model for organizations interested in some area of the market or some technology has been to build some kind of cartel of vendors or at least of the powers in charge. Only recently have new models emerged that work differently, the most visible of which right now is the Un-conference: a conference where the attendees determine what happens, not the organizers and not the speakers. In fact, there are no speakers, or perhaps more appropriately, everybody is a speaker. As anybody who has been to Internet Identity Workshops can attest, it is a tremendously successful model.

So welcome to the un-organization. In spite of this, or perhaps because of it, this un-organization deserves your support. Welcome to the Identity Commons!
