3. Discussion with e Citizen Foundation about leading our effort to build our Citizen Portal as per our Charter (2.1)

Daz Greenwood from e Citizen Foundation presented an overview of their service. They work with Educational institutions, Government organizations, volunteers, etc. to develop technologies to make online dialog possible. Identity Embassy is one project that allows an individual to control their online identity. Frank Villavicencio (read Frank's recent blog ), Chair of the Identity Assurance WG efforts on the Identity Assurance Framework (IAF) are a good model and in alignment with our efforts. Citizens have access to information, a self-asserted identity from low to high assurance levels.

Is the group interested in inviting an interested party for an IAF scenario mimicking as a credential provider? Can the group provide leads or contacts? We need volunteers from the assesment community (doing the audit) and identity providers. There is an interest in having a call to discuss the frameworks, legal aspects, technical implementation.

Budget for this new project is $15-20,000. Consider this and brainstorm for next call what we come up with in terms of recruitment for the component and fundraising ideas. Barry is willing to work with Daz.

ACTION20100121-01: Pete to reach out to Brett McDowell for leads and contacts?

4. Do we want to respond with comments on "meaningful use" proposed tags?

Review the document describing the Health IT standards Interim Final Rule for Meaningful Use . The U.S. Government put aside 19 billion to stimulate adoption of health IT, healthcare providers can get $44K rebate per doctor if they implement IT. Govt. want them to buy the system and actually use it. They need an identity provider component. Comments are due March 15, 2010.

ACTION20100121-02: All review "meaningful use" document this and brainstorm for next call.
