Dear Sir or Madam, dear Member,

ID4me  AISBL  is  a non-profit organization in foundation providing an open 
federated protocol for digital identity management on the Internet. On the
occasion of the first ID4me Summit on 14 August 2018 in Frankfurt, Germany, 
the initiative announced a number of new members and supporters.

Jörg  Schweiger,  DENIC  CEO  and ID4me founding board member who had invited 
ID4me to host its Summit at DENIC’s headquarters, welcomed 60+ attendees
representing a  broad mix of regional and global Internet players.

Internet legend and ID4me Chairman Andreas Gauger, who co-founded the first 
hosting company in Germany, introduced the reasons why he supports the
ID4me initiative: “ID4me is open, anyone can join. It’s privacy friendly, 
secure, easy to implement, and the user truly owns his or her ID instead of
some large corporation.” Rafael Laguna, Open-Xchange CEO and ID4me founding 
board member, added: “The mission I am on is to keep the Internet free and
open.”

During  the  ID4me Summit Sven Woltmann, CTO of Fonpit AG/ AndroidPIT 
provided an imposing live implementation of ID4me during his presentation 
“ID4me
Implementation Lesson” in less than 30 minutes.

Alexander  Mayrhofer,  Head of R&D at nic.at, provided a thorough market 
overview of Blockchains & Identity management. Thomas Keller, Director Domain
Services  at  1&1  Internet  SE  and founding board member of ID4me, 
continued by describing why ID4me is carefully observing the Blockchains 
movement
while  today’s  Blockchain solutions cannot compete with the scalability and 
benefits of the DNS (Domain Name System), i. e. the Internet’s identifier
technology which is ID4me’s underlying infrastructure.

Also, ID4me is proud to announce eco – Association of the Internet Industry 
has officially agreed to be a supporter. With the Domain Name Association,
eco and the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition), three of the 
leading Internet associations are now supporting ID4me.
