'''XDI.org''' is a public organization for governance of [[XRI|Extensible Resource Identifiers]] (XRI), and [[XDI|XRI Data Interchange]] (XDI) infrastructure.<ref>[http://www.xdi.org/modules/pages/ About XDI.org]</ref> XRI and XDI structures provide individuals and companies protected Internet identities i.e i-names and i-numbers to create a trusted data sharing environment.<ref>[http://www.consortiuminfo.org/links/linksdetail2.php?ID=469 ConsortiumInfo]</ref> The organization manages [[Intellectual Property|intellectual property]] rights for [[XDI]] protocol and offers global services that help individuals and companies make use of the protocol.<ref>[http://www.xdi.org/modules/pages/ About XDI.org]</ref>
The [[XRI]] proxy resolution network is operated by [[NeuStar]] on the behalf of XDI.org.<ref>[http://www.inames.net/about_proxy.html iNames]</ref>
===XDI and ICANN===
XDI.org's authority over XRI and XDI infrastructure seems to offer a parallel but somewhat overlapping system of governance and policy to that of [[ICANN]]. The XDI.org Board of Trustees held discussions in 2008 about greater synchronization with ICANN, the results of the discussions or where their relationship currently is unclear.<ref>[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2008Oct/0013.html Email Archive, Lists.w3.org]</ref>
==History==
In June, 2000, an organization named XNSORG was formed by [[Cordance]] to manage Extensible Name Services, which were a predecessor to i-names. It worked to create a level of trust between people and the new data sharing networks. XNS published XNS 1.0 specifications in June, 2002, which contributed to the formation of [[XRI]] with the help of [[OASIS]]. [[XRI]] was formed in February, 2004, thereby sending XNSORG in a new direction.<ref>[http://www.xdi.org/modules/pages/index.php?id=2 About CDI.org]</ref> On June 6th, 2004, XNSORG was replaced by XDI.org. This name conversion was part of an Early Global Services program, which gave opportunity to a limited number of individuals and organizations to re-register themselves with a global i-name.<ref>[http://www.xdi.org/docref/legal/egs-xns-name-conversion.html XDI.org Name Conversion]</ref> XDI.org started providing registrations for i-names and i-numbers on June 20th, 2006. i-names and i-numbers can be the digital identities for companies, individuals or even products. This system creates a secure environment where the sharing of email addresses and telephone numbers is no longer needed.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=173364 prnewswire]</ref>
