MyTerms (IEEE P7012) is on track to be ProjectVRM’s biggest achievement—and maybe the biggest thing on the Net since the Web. I’m biased, but I believe it.
And that track runs through three events next week:
- VRM Day, on Monday October 20.
- IIW, the Internet Identity Workshop, from Tuesday to Thurdsday, October 21 to 23.
- AIW, the Agentic Identity Workshop, on Friday, October 24.
All three are at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. Register at those links. VRM Day is free. The others are relatively inexpensive.
Here is some of what’s going on around MyTerms.
- The draft is complete and on track for publication early next year. But work can start in the meantime.
- Consumer Reports is with us on this. Joyce and I met with them in New York on Monday. They’ll be there next week.
- Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the Web, devotes a chapter of his new book, This is for Everyone, to the intention economy. He also credits my book by that title (which reported on ProjectVRM progress in 2012) with inspiring his Solid Project. Joyce and I met with Tim last Tuesday as well.
- Thanks to work by Iain Henderson, Liz Brandt, and others, there are allied efforts going on in Europe, most notably with MyData.
- We can see good things starting to happen on the enterprise side, thanks especially to the recent writings of Nitin Badjatia. Dig When Customers Set the Terms: How the Intention Economy and ‘MyTerms’ Enable the Great Unwinding.
- Kwaai and members of the open source personal AI community are on the case as well.
Iain and Nitin will also be at the events next week. So will others from the MyTerms working group, Kwaai, and other allied efforts.
We plan to have VRM Day online by Zoom (or the equivalent—we’ll let you know); but we’ll get the best results if you’re there in person.
Hope you can make it, and see you soon.
