Eric, I like the idea of an Identity Working Group because it would attract others who, like you said, don't care as much about some of the SIP connection issues. However, given that "identity" is such a loaded term these days on the Internet, I think we need to be clear that this is about *SIP* identity and not about general Internet identity issues. Otherwise we could easily wind up off in the land of web identity, OpenID, etc.
I even have a name for you... How about something like: CIRCUS - Communication Identity & Relationships Using SIP :-) Dan -- Dan York, CISSP, Director of Emerging Communication Technology Office of the CTO Voxeo Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +1-407-455-5859 Skype: danyork http://www.voxeo.com Blogs: http://blogs.voxeo.com http://www.disruptivetelephony.com Bring your web applications to the phone.

I vote for the latter: form an Identity Work Group. That will (1) attract security folks whom would not be interested in INFO, (2) attract privacy folks who would not be interested in Connection Reuse, and (3) help SIP finish.
