Patrik, I fear that I need to side with Dave on this (!). For issues at the technology-policy boundary, ISOC is seen in the outside community as the representative and "voice" of the IETF. That is generally a good thing and it is an impression many of us have worked for years to create. However

My concern regarding this announcement is the fact that it gives support to a misguided effort by Liberty Alliance. I think it is somewhat irresponsible for the ISOC to actively support an effort without first engaging the community at large to fully understand the dynamics of the identity commu

So I do not think IETF should be the slightest worried ISOC is doing something here without coordination. And without visibility to the IETF. And the more people in IETF is interested on this more "meta-level-work" than bits on the wire, the higher the quality will be of the work ISOC does.
