DRAFT CHARTER SUBJECT TO FURTHER REVISION AND APPROVAL
(1) WG NAME (and any acronym or abbreviation of the name): The WG name, acronym and abbreviation must not include trademarks not owned by the Organization, or content that is infringing, harmful, or inappropriate.
...
(2) PURPOSE: Please provide a clear statement of purpose and justification why the proposed WG is necessary.
Online identity fraud results from the misuse of personally identifying information such as names, Social Security Numbers, and birthdates, as well as misuse of shared secrets such as passwords, credit card information, answers to "challenge questions", mother's maiden name, etc. Misuse of this PII enables fraudsters to impersonate individual consumers online because identity-related claims are often based on nothing more than knowledge of this information. Identity fraud has an obvious negative impact on consumers, who may experience damaged credit scores, drained bank accounts, fraudulent credit card charges and other bills resulting from unauthorized purchases, falsified medical histories, privacy breaches of sensitive medical records and information, etc. The negative impact on businesses that provide identity-related products or services includes damage to their operations, reputations, and bottom line, as well as loss of consumer trust that is difficult and costly to regain.
...
Specifically, the WG will create several Whitepapers, and possibly other Requirements , or Recommendations, or Technical Specifications, to describe how emerging identity technologies, protocols, frameworks, laws and regulations, etc., can be leveraged to: (a) enable businesses to know, with high confidence, the identities (or authorization status) of individual consumers with whom it engages in high-value online transactions, without jeopardizing the privacy of the consumer's personally identifiable information; and (b) enable individual consumers to prevent others from impersonating them in high-value, online transactions.
By championing the use of high assurance, privacy-protecting identity solutions geared to individual consumers, the WG seeks to help bring about an environment in which the value of stolen personal information as an enabler of online identity theft and other identity fraud is greatly reduced. Although the scope of the Consumer Identity WG is geared to high assurance identity solutions for consumers, the WG is not constrained to address only high assurance identity issues, but may also address lower assurance identity solutions for consumers, provided there is sufficient interest by WG participants.
(4) DRAFT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: List Working Titles of draft Technical Specifications to be produced _(if any), projected completion dates, and the Standards Setting Organization(s) to which they will be submitted upon approval by the Membership.
No draft Technical Specifications are currently planned. Any draft Technical Specifications that the WG chooses to issue will be based on the Whitepapers described in Section 5.
(5) OTHER DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS: Other Draft Recommendations and projected completion dates for submission for All Member Ballot.
...
Upon completion of the Whitepapers described above, the WG may choose to issue additional Recommendations or Requirements for the deployment or use of the consumer identity solutions discussed in the Whitepapers.
(6) LEADERSHIP: Proposed WG Chair and Editor(s) (if any) subject to confirmation by a vote of the WG Participants.
