Subject: [higgins-dev] Nomination of Abhi Shelat as Higgins committer

I nominate Abhi Shelat be added to the Higgins project as a committer.

Abhi has contributed towards the incorporation of Idemix cryptographic protocols in the architecture, the design and implementation of a user interface for selecting credentials, and the design of how relying party policy matching integrates with the I-Card Selector Service (ISS). In the future we anticipate that Abhi will also be contributing to the development of the browser-based ISS Web UI component.

More background on Abhi: Abhi is a researcher in cryptography at the IBM Zurich Research lab. He received his Ph.D. from MIT under the tutelage of Professor Silvio Micali, received a masters from MIT under Professor Madhu Sudan, and received his bachelors degree from Harvard. His research encompasses both theoretical and practical aspects of protocol design, and cryptography---in particular, encryption and non-interactive zero-knowledge protocols.

Higgins Committers please respond to this email with either: +1 (yes) -1 (veto), or 0 (abstain) or request for more information. The voting period is one week. If I don't hear from a given committer within that time, I'll assume a vote of 0. If I receive at least three positive votes with no negative votes the addition will likely be approved and I'll start the rest of the process described here
