The primary goal of the Interledger Payments Community Group is connecting the many payment networks (ledgers) around the world via the Web. The group's vision is an open, universal payment scheme built on Web standards that allows any payer to pay any payee regardless of the payer’s choice of payment instrument or the payee’s account.

Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.
Remember that we have the room for the whole day for anyone that wants to hang around and break into groups to pursue any new conversations following the morning session. This obviously excludes remote attendees (unless you can arrange something with your breakout group) which is a great pity but couldn’t be avoided.

[1] You’ll note that we have carved out some time for a Smart Contracts breakout session and also booked another room for this so remote participants can dial in to that session if they wish.
This seemed like the only way to give this broad topic enough time on the agenda. Look out for an email to the list looking for volunteers to facilitate and attend this breakout.
Are there discussions around registry services ? I assume to handle transactions across ledger, one needs to identify the addresses and the ledgers. To interface with existing ledgers, we would need account number, servicing bank identifier …
Thank you for your interest in the Interledger Protocol and community group.
We would like to invite you to the first ILP webinar. Our first webinar will cover the purpose and potential of the Interledger, and a discussion of the white paper. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with presenters Stefan Thomas, Evan Schwartz, and Adrian Hope-Bailie after the presentation.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday, October 20th at 7:00 AM PDT (UTC-7). If you are unable to join at that time, please be advised that there will be others.
Twenty five years ago the Web changed how we share information. Today anyone with Internet access can access trillions of documents instantly and for free. But the same has not happened for payments. It is still cheaper and faster in many cases to send a bundle of cash via Fedex than to send an international wire. In order to change that, it’s important to learn from the experience of the Web.
What made the Web – and the Internet for that matter – so powerful, was the fact that it allowed systems to offer interoperability while placing minimal requirements on them. Interoperability enabled competition because even smaller providers could reach a global audience. And the technical minimalism of the Web platform resulted in tremendous diversity.
The primary goal of the Interledger Payments Community Group is connecting the many payment networks (ledgers) around the world via the Web. The group’s vision is an open, universal payment scheme built on Web standards that allows any payer to pay any payee regardless of the payer’s choice of payment instrument or the payee’s account.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2015-10-06 by Adrian Hope-Bailie. The following people supported its creation: Adrian Hope-Bailie, Ian Jacobs, Manu Sporny, Dave Longley, Michael Petychakis, Evan Schwartz. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
