Good to hear!

Maybe you are not exactly clear about the status of these proposals. This 
is not the time nor place to decide things like concrete implementations 
and their licenses. We are at the point of making suggestions on what 
should be on the agenda of the IGF, meaning that there is a need to 
discuss it and develop policy directions.

*If* and only if digital identity makes it on the agenda, we can certainly 
use all arguments and lobbying facilities we have to make sure identity 
systems are regulated and implemented without supporting DRM and in an 
open way.

Hope that helps,

Ralf
