The amount and frequency of sharing of information about, by, and from individuals is outpacing our ability to manage it. Our contention is that when individuals are forced to "consent" to confusing organization-centric privacy policies and terms of use, the flow of quality information is limited. If such constraints were removed, and capabilities built on the side of the individual, then new, rich information will flow - including actual demand data (as opposed to derived/ predicted demand).
The goal of this working group is to identify and document the use cases and scenarios that illustrate the various sub-sets of individual-driven information sharing, the benefits therein, and specify the policy and technology enablers that should be put in place to enable this information to flow. Our role is to shepherd new specifications by which personal information can be enabled to flow under the control of the individual, improving the relationship between demand and supply.

- Become an active public discussion forum for the collection, development, and analysis of use cases, scenarios, and specifications that address improve individual-driven information sharing.
- Foster awareness of and participation in this effort from the broadest stakeholder cross-section possible, both the near-term use case phase taking place in this working group, the mid-term specification and practical framework build phase, and the long-term adoption of the newly emerged individual-driven information sharing.
- Advocate the adoption of specific standard privacy policies by vendors standards in policy and terms to increase the quality of privacy practices and improve compliance with both internal and external policy across all jurisdictions.
