- Continuation of discussion on Question 4
- 16 weeks to go until RSA! Still on track
- Ballot is open now until November 4
- Please start signalling your interest in different project areas - we want to get up to speed rapidly!
- Slide 20
- Previous meeting we discussed items 1-3
- We need to dive a bit deeper in to mechanisms for networking
- Take to the list for discussion
- "Library" topic
- Should the content be created/commissioned by the organization? or pointers to external sources?
- Q: Need a combination
- Have a request mechanism to ask for subject areas to be covered
- There must be a good taxonomy/structure
- Must be curation function to ensure quality
- Q: I'd prefer a community fashion, so you could accept donations but maybe let them run through a validation by other members of the community.
- Q: Maybe wrap them up as a 'publication' each year for members?
- Other orgs publish around specific topics - call for contributions then publish/event on it
- Need to address access/subscription - e.g. analyst reports - good to know about but not all can get them
- Need to address how to deal with Vendor content - marketing versus practice advice
- Q: Need to decide if publication is to be a revenue stream?
- There is preliminary interest from some publishers to create a trade publication for 'Identity'
- Scholarly articles?
- Magazine?
- Conference proceedings?
- Be very cautious about closing ourselves off from the broader world by standing up paywalls and other restrictions
- "Standard Body of Knowledge" topic
- This is one of the hallmarks for a professionalized group of practitioners
- 1st step is to define 'Domains' to be elaborated
- Can we come to consensus in a project team about the top 1 or 2 levels of a taxonomy by February launch announcements?
- What relative priority is this item?
- Must consider who the audience is intended to be
- Inward to 'technical' ID Pros?
- External to technical people in adjacent sectors who are not yet ID Pros?
- Knowledge that is useful to senior executive making business decisions?
- Should start with a glossary
- Must be practical
- Must decide approach to this first
- Document versus Define approaches
- "Code of Practice" topic
- Code of Practice is a good outward message to others that we understand the broader impacts of our practices
- Q: is the code of practice for "Digital ID Pros" or "the use of Digital ID"?
- Must consider if we want a self-enforced code? or push our views to non-members? must be pragmatic
- How should we or should we deal with apparent violations of the code?
- Need to tread carefully and work out the downstream impacts
- "Certification Program" topic
- Great thing to aim for over time
- There are other things that have to be in place before this
- Fills a gap
- Has to be kept current
- Avoid selling the certification versus the attestation of the individual's capabilities
- If we go all-in on certification we have to consider the depth of process and administration - should probably get international standards body to certify that we are doing it 'right'
- This is not a critical path topic
- Ian to propose modifications to meeting times and cadence to increase attendance opportunity
- Next meeting
- Vice-Chair and Secretary ballot results
- Start discussion of project areas and sub-assignments
