InitiativesTrust and IdentityIdentity Management Consultation Project
Project Status
The IdMC project is complete, and we would like to thank the participants for their time and effort. The work has helped to inform our current activities relating to online identity. We continue to engage with global technology and policy stakeholders on issues relating to online identity. For more information about our current activities on the topic, please contact J. Trent Adams at adams@isoc.org The Identity Management Consultation (IdMC) is part of a major initiative on identity being driven by the Internet Society (ISOC). The consultation project begins with a survey of the landscape described by the various Identity Management (IdM) communities. The consultation explores this landscape through a series of conversations with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, from standards body participants through industry professionals, to individual contributors. Each experienced participant comes to the consultation highly recommended within their field. The focus of the consultation is on the end user experience related to online identity issues and how the various IdM technologies and identity communities interrelate. The final output of the IdMC will be the production of a public report on "User-Managed Identity". The report will outline the major IdM solutions currently available and in development, their potential uses cases, and what their active deployment will mean for the end user. Participation in the consultation requires a level of effort and commitment similar to an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group. Participants contribute via email list, on scheduled phone conferences, in shared documents, and at periodic meetups. |
