But that's a valid and important goal, and there has to be a group of  
people with that commitment or prepared to make it (for example, Lee  
McKnight"s note "we should talk.")  I'd gently suggest that it would  
be quite useful (assuming the issue does become an IGF agenda item),  
rather than insist that the group already be there, to create it and  
push it into the process?

I should also note that, although I'm the guy who first proposed the  
issue to the IGC list, I have no credentials whatsoever  in the user- 
centric identity "community."  So the fact of the issue being raised  
on the IGC list may not have come to their attention and may actually  
need a push in their direction as well.
