Since our first release of the SXIP protocol in September 2004, we've received a ton of feedback on a number of issues, one of which we've yet to address -- that of the name itself. We've found there's been some confusion of SXIP with our company, Sxip Identity, and concerns over whether there was a clear seperation between the protocol and the company. Although we've tried to address this with open source licensing, we believe that with the Identity Open Space meeting tomorrow and Friday here in Vancouver, that now is an appropriate time to revisit the protocol name and would appreciate community involvement in the process. Accordingly, we'd like to receive input from the IOS attendees and others in the identity space. Looking forward to a great two days of discussions! If you can't attend, please feel free to give us your comments below...
