This group closed on 18 December 2020. What follows is the original mission statement.
The purpose of the Web Payments Community Group is to discuss, research,
prototype, and create working systems that enable Universal Payment for
the Web. The goal is to create a safe, decentralized system and a set of
open, patent and royalty-free specifications that allow people on the
Web to send each other money as easily as they exchange instant messages
and e-mail today. The group will focus on transforming the way we reward
each other on the Web as well as how we organize financial resources to
enhance our personal lives and pursue endeavors that improve upon the
human condition.
