Hi Owen -

I don't think you're breaching an IPR policy... it's just that Kantara and its groups have IPR policies which ensure that any contributions are made under a known and mutually-agreed set of rules. For example, the Privacy and Public Policy WG operates inder a Creative Commons "Attribution/Share Alike" policy... so if you contribute IPR to the P3 Work Group, it's on that basis. If you felt that the patended status of your ideas precluded "Attribution/Share Alike" treatment, you would have to decide whether to waive that or not contribute them to the group's proceedings.

So, on the community list, folks may simply be unsure what rights you aim to assert regarding the ideas youre inviting them to comment on...

Hope this helps - I don't want to discourage you from engaging in a discussion, I'm just observing that, if you don't get much response, IPR considerations may be one inhibiting factor...

Yrs.,
Robin

Hello people.

I now see that I may have overstepped a boundary as to what can and cannot be discussed. I would find it helpful if someone could be a little more specific on which IPR policy governs this group, and maybe even the specific clauses that my posting may be in breach of.

Thanks,

Owen.

Marketing or not, I would imagine that few list members will be eager to comment on patented ideas outside the IPR provisions of Kantara and its Work Groups.

Subject: [Kantara - Community] Clique Space: A concept for an Identity Layer.

Hi there people.

After doing some research on the lay of the market landscape for a device and user aggregation, interaction modeling and moderation system, I ran into the term "Identity Layer" that appears to sum up the objective of a concept that I have patented.

In essence, Clique Space is a system that abstracts user presence and models collaborations. I will leave the details to the three links I provide in my signature below, and to Google. I would love to have some feedback.

Thanks,

Owen.
