Discussion of survey results

    • Question 2: Vision statement
      • "Value" - many interpret this as only 'commercial' - perhaps use the term "utility" or similar instead.
        • Need to test if 'utility' translates well into other languages
      • "Digital" services - is it redundant? or should this be for all types of services?
        • General comments - strike 'digital' from 'services' but leave "digital identities" alone
      • "High Value" - might be self-limiting. Who decides the value level?
        • Suggestion to use a different kind of metric "trusted identities" or "low-risk" identities - to allow for differentiation considerations
      • Note that the
  • authors of the
      • value statement is about the 'future state of digital identity' - should be about the future association
        • ACTION: Andrew Hughes to post a revised vision statement to the mailing list
    • Question 3: Mission statement
      • The statement is a better statement of 'organization' focus rather than 'industry' descriptive
      • The statement is a reasonable encapsulation of the "why" of the organization
      • Consider using "confidence" instead of "trust" to avoid a term that is hard to measure
        • Relatively balanced opinion on the chat between "trust" and "confidence"
      • Comment:
              • "Confidence is typically associated with ID proofing while trust tends to aggregate several processes."
      • Comment:
              • "i suggest "trusted identity" should be a thing, confidence is a metric in how well the identity might be performing."
      • Comment:
              • "to me trust implies yes/no (100% or not) while confidence implies a level (possibly 95%)"
              • "Now that I think about it, trust is usually used to refer to a relationship. Assurance, maybe?"
                • "I think assurance is even more overloaded. Especially if you bring in the 'high-assurance' identity crowd.... which we will...."
          • "Digital Services" - maybe say "services enabled by digital identity"
            • Or "delivery of services" not just "services"
            • Or "services and products that are enabled by digital identity"
            • Need to consider generation of 'identity information' as well
          • Enumerated list issue again: this could cause a limitation and constraint on our scope
      • ?
            • We will need a living definition of "digital identity"
          • Q: what's the audience for the Mission Statement? ourselves? 
            • The Mission should be of the Organization to ourselves as direct constituents - "I recognize myself in the statement - I'm one of those"
          • Q: Are we deliberately leaning to "access management" vs IAM?
            • A: No, and this is an issue with the enumerated list approach
      • Suggestion: "to advance the practice and profession of digital identity to enhance the delivery of services and products enabled by identity"
      • Question 3: 
          • If we say that the Organization "defines" the Profession, does this mean that we prescribe it or should the org be reactive to what's already going on
            • Q: "Do we assume that the Profession the same thing as the Organization?"
            • Depends on who the audience is 
            • "Define" is problematic - because there will always be practitioners/professionals that are not part of the Organization
              • Will probably have to refine this relative to future Certifications offered
        • Suggested Mission for discussion on list: "To advance the practice and profession of digital identity to enhance the delivery of services and products enabled by identity"
