Agenda
On our two February calls (2/2 and 2/9), we discussed the US government's Open Identity initiative, also known as the Identity Credential and Access Management (ICAM) initiative, in which the government wants to use OpenID and Information Cards issued by non-government Identity Providers to citizens for access to government websites. These initial government apps are low assurance, LOA-1 apps, meaning that no identity proofing is required for issuance of credentials, and authentication can be accomplished via username and password.
...
So that's my plan, and I'd like to get your input. Do you think this is viable, desirable, useful, or what? Do you have any other thoughts or suggestions for a work program that can get funding and that can address the goals of high assurance consumer identity? To get started defining a proposal for funding such a work program, I've put together some initial ideas here . This needs to be organized into a coherent proposal. So please look this over, and we'll discuss further on the call.
Minutes
The discussion centered around whether the WG should formulate a proposal for funding the kind of work that was described in the Agenda above, and what the proposal should contain. There was general agreement that a proposal would make sense, and that the initial topics referenced in the Agenda were reasonable to include. An additional topic that was mentioned for possible inclusion was the issue of redress; that is, what happens when a consumer has a complaint about the handling of his/her identity information, or about an identity assertion that references his/her identity. There was further discussion about some of the issues that will affect deployment of high assurance digital identities for consumers; in particular, the need for a business case that addresses the needs of consumers as well as service providers/relying parties and identity providers.
We also talked about some potential sources of funding, including vendors of authetnication technologies, various governmental entities, consumer groups, as well as potential services providers / relying parties, and identity providers. However, no specific sources of funding were identitied that participants believed might be most likely to want to support this effort.
Bob P. will continue to reach out to potentially interested parties to gauge their interest. The WG will convene again when sufficient progress has been made on defining a proposal, or when additional work items have been identified, to warrant further discussion.
