Internet Protocol Identity Community Group
This group was closed on 2019-08-13.
This group is for the discussion of assigning an IPv6 address for every person on Earth, so everyone has a digital identity.
Each individual could use this to proxy or alias other identifiers, permanent or temporary, over different spans of their lifetime. Thus, a person they can manage their domain names, physical or email addresses, phone numbers, WebRTC address, and other contact info as they wish, flexibly maintaining an identity in a decentralized way not controlled by third-party commercial interests or even governments.
This system could also be used for organizations, businesses, animals, or any other entity that needs an identity.
This group may produce specifications.
