Compiling comments for the White Paper on Privacy Enhanced Identity Brokers. NIST seeks comments on new project aimed at protecting privacy online. Deadline: December 18^th
Restructuring the IAWG work platform, Wiki.

Working with the E-government WG on protocol for relying parties.
KI encouraged the attendees to participate in the IAWG.

Open space

Industry concerns on how the 800-63 will change and the direction that Connect.gov will take, in light of time and money investment.
Changing standards is an open process to get feedback from the industry.
It is very important to build a communication culture in the process.
More open and active involvement of the industry experts in the process.
It was stressed that it is helpful to know the items for the open space before the call to enrich the discussion.
It was commented that in the European Workshop on Trust and Identity it was discussed the incentives to adopt standards, federated identity federations, adopting harmonization of various frameworks. It would be good to focus on which is the incentive, why you should participate in a trust framework.
Share best practices among trust frameworks.

Raise items to add into the agenda.
Bring use cases – examples.
