A co-founder of XNSORG in 2000, he is currently secretary of XDI.ORG (http://www.xdi.org). He also serves as a trustee of Identity Commons (http://www.idcommons.net), and a board member of the International Security, Trust, and Privacy Alliance (ISTPA - http://www.istpa.org). He has been working on open standards for XML-based persistent identity and trusted data sharing since the mid-1990s.

 Marc Le Maitre is VP of Business Development at Cordance Corporation where he is dedicated to developing identity, trust and privacy services that can benefit everyone who uses electronic communications, be they social, charitable, commercial or governmental. Email: marc at cordance dot net.
 Bill Barnhill is a senior consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton based in Rome, New York. He has over twelve years experience in software engineering, and specializes in leveraging emerging XML technologies for commercial and government applications. He is an original member of the XDI (XRI Data Interchange) Technical Committee and an advisory member of the XRI (Extensible Resource Identifier) Technical Committee at OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org).
 Owen Davis is a co-founder and president of Identity Comons (http://www.idcommons.net). He studied sustainable communities and electrical engineering in college, was a principal in two (founder of one) successful high-tech companies, Gates Distributing and Lighten, Inc., and has been a business and computer consultant. Believing that business is an engine of transformation, Owen has been working since December of 2000 to learn and apply the principles of distributive governance pioneered at VISA to create a socially beneficial commercial venture. The Identity Commons is the result of this effort. He has been active in the Chaordic Commons (http://www.chaordic.org) as a member and trustee. He can be contacted through his profile at Living Directory, at http://livingdirectory.net/profile/ie282
 Fen Labalme is a primary developer of OpenPrivacy, an Open Source, cryptographically secure, distributed platform for creating, maintaining, and selectively sharing profile information (e.g., a marketplace for anonymous demographic profiles). Since creating the first personalized information system in 1979 (NewsPeek, at the then-nascent MIT Media Lab), Fen has been continuously evolving his goal of privacy-enhanced personalization. As part of his research into personalized information, he coined the term broadcatch to describe a suite of "many-to-one" technologies designed to provide information the way people really want it: timely, trusted, and on target. Fen continued to push the personalization-with-privacy envelope as co-founder of Lumeria Inc., where he furthered his work in agent and infomediary technology. He is the primary author of the seminal Infomediary and Reputations white papers. Fen is currently the CTO of the Identity Commons, which is applying OpenPrivacy concepts to portable, user controlled identity. He believes that current technologies such as XRI/XDI and public key cryptography, combined with greater power and bandwidth at the desktop, will at last enable his vision to become a reality. He can be contacted through his profile at Living Directory, at http://livingdirectory.net/profile/IC113.
