- Note that once there is an elected secretary for the DG, we will stop recording the DG calls and rely on meeting notes
- Nominations period still open until 5pm Eastern today
- Timeline
- 18 weeks to go until RSA and goal of announcement
- Survey results review
- Ian gives a high level overview of the survey methodology
- Presented brief outline of Q1-4 and the essence of the response & pie chart breakdown
- 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
- "Value" - many interpret this as only 'commercial' - perhaps use the term "utility" or similar instead.
- 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 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 "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: 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: 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
- 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
